Am I correct in assuming that HAM radio is analogous to a pre-internet internet, IE social networking infrastructure?
This is just a point of curiosity for me, as the whole intent of pursuing this is to supprt DR/BC, not recreation.

Oh, I know. I just meant it pre-dated the internet.

I was being a bit facetious. I think it has always been more about radios and tinkering than it ever was about socializing, although the two meter band is more of a modern day citizen's band and is a good way to chat with random people while on the road.

When last heard from, MaggieL was still into the ham thing. She mentioned that the test is easier now since you don't have to learn Morse code anymore. (anybody hear from Mags lately?)

Thanks, Maggie.
I knew you couldn't resist this one! . . . I won't even mention the Gun Cult thread with sexy pics of Sean Connery...
