I guess it will be what I hate most. I remember when hams were hams, we
walked five miles to and from school, up hill both ways etc.
I do remember my neighbors calling my parents in panic, because my friend
wa9swx and I were on the roof fixing antennas at midnight. My Dad couldn't
figure why midnight or noon made a difference. It certainly didn't to us.
Dad also never understood why we were modifying radios. He figured we
should be happy with things the way they were made.
Let's see, what has ham radio done for me?
I made my first black friends because of radio.
I met my second wife because of ham radio,
I met alcohol and other fascinating substances and people because of ham
radio. I don't think we will go in to details there.
Lots of bars, lots of beers, lots of lunches, and lots of characters.
