This is a GREAT HOBBY to be in ! I have been an Amateur Operator since 1975 at the age of 17 !!! Now 53, but still pounding the straight key on all the low bands as skcc 6541 !!! Blessings to ALL in Ham Radio !!! WB9SJZ ;-) Proud member of Quarter Century Wireless Association !!!! ;-)
I am niether fat or an old fart. Thank you Diana for these informative postings. I am always intrigued to see what's happening in ham radio in the USA.
My 'first time' in DayTonnHamVenTION was in 1975 and I attended for 21 straight years. Last two trips were to a junky flea market propped up by ARRL. My campsite without water or electricity cost $160 for four days. 1400 mile drive round trip. NOT worth it anymore. Diana Eng is cute kiss kiss kiss. Peter, WB2SGT
@JTLfan96 My last trip introduced me to the 'blasted ghetto' of Springfield. I went to supermarket for supples passing a wagon on checkout...angry black lady ran after me for 'jumping' and mngr opened a lane for me. Pkd my car legally to pick up load of antenna masts...cops towed it to provide a local parking...cost me $65 ticket witheld. Years ago hammys were burden but appreciated for business. WE treat visitors to NYC better, even forneys and OsamaBinLoaded! Peter, WB2SGT, ck73
@FrostfoxFilms I just joined this past year and im 19 and already got 3 radios i must say its tons of fun. Dont get much time though with college work and girlfriend

@jobvindex The 1 lightweight enough to be taken to the edge of space, while lifting a payload.
