I’ve been in the hobby 58 years and still love it as much today as I did when I got my Novice License in 1957. (please though, DO NOT link Amateur Radio and CB because they ARE NOT the same). That said, there are many digital modes in Amateur Radio. (RTTY, PSK-31, Olivia, SSTV etc just to name a few). get your Technician license and get on VHF/UHF and then upgrade to General and then finally Extra Class. (I took all of my exams when morse code was still required but it hasn’t been required for quite a while now.) You might also investigate WINLINK (more info at www.winlink.org).

Good Luck and Happy New Year!

Wow. I was an 11 year old listening to Radio Moscow on a 39 Philco Cathedral with an antenna running about 75 feet up a hill on a clothesline pole. I stopped when I started listening to Jean Shepherd and Long John Knebel out of WOR in New York.
