I'm 15 and love amateur radio to bits - morse code is one of many modes, including digital modes, voice, and television. Ham radio is far from morse code and ladder line, and more young ppl are getting into it. It's a hobby which still sparks ingenuity, creativity and innovation.

We really do need some younger hams into the hobby,tired of old krankey men!

The Amateur Radio Service provides incredibly powerful and wide ranging powers for people to mess with communications and networking tech, get involved with public service, and just have fun. As a field for experimentation, you can't do better, especially with cheap computers... There are plenty of younger and female hams, but we tend to stay away from 75 meters and the bile on ham webforums. Really, if you have any interest in radio or net tech, you have no excuse not to become a ham.

Not all hams are old farts! I'm 41 and well known international club DJ/producer and I love my hobby!

[KevinThePenniless]

Fucking hell, what horrible response this video has attracted...

[ZXROMEO]

The ham geezers (who still think ladder line and morse code is cool) must have paid this chick a ton of money to get her to act like ham radio is anything but an antiquated hobby for old fat guys.

old cranky, usually right wing, white males ranting hate. talking about the good old days... yeah right, good old days when women had no rights, blacks were murdered/rapped, cars had no air bags and asbestos were used as insulation.
