Another from my collection of vintage ham radio movies. this one aspires to convince CB'ers to move up to ham radio. Also if you've watch the other films, you can see how some clips are edited and inserted into various films! These all date from the early to mid 70's. I converted this old and somewhat damaged 16mm film to video tape many many years ago when the technology to do that was rather archaic. I have now converted those old video reels to digital movies. Not the best quality but still quite amusing. I have a few more to do. Up until a couple years ago I was still hauling my 16mm projector and films and screen to ham club meetings and showing these for the evenings entertainment!

  • Back in that timeframe one had to WORK to get his her ham ticket. None of this QRZ online tests, Gordon West books, no coders, ect ect.... I will bet if things where still like this ( 5, 13 and 20 WPM CW test no books or online tests) nowadays our ham bands would be MUCH quieter!!!!!

  • @TheZeke1974 Odd comment, because I've never noticed the bands to be over run. Except on a contest weekend. All the ham magazines, all club meetings, are always focused on how we can get more to join our ranks to keep the hobby from dying out. Yet you think the bands should be quieter. FYI, I have some ARRL license manuals that go back over 40 years that were pretty much the same as a Gordon West book.

  • @locowhiteboy69 Do both ham and CB, it's never been easier to get the FCC ticket to run LEGAL on both. CB AROUND HERE IS DEAD, SO HAMS CAN OP ON IT TOO WITHOUT ALL THE BOZOS. I have a vintage Regency Imperial II and Astro Plane. I suppose that CBers like to use a Radidio Shack ten forty channel rig, D104 POWER Mic with roger beep, and running it through the linniker into a coat hanger antenner with some lamp zip cord feedline in yer ten Ford pickumup truck or Trans Am.

  • Its ok that hams arte trying to get new ops into the hobby but the older hams that have been around a long time tend to run them off in short order. Ive been a ham for a few years and they tried to run me off because i was a 5 WPM General but i stood up to them and held my ground and now they leave me alone.... I dont put up with thier BS.

  • Grt video you have here. Like to see the older stuff. W1WJZ 73's
