The amateur radio license he recently earned puts him in touch with folks from all over. Couldn't he just surf the 'net?

When I was a kid, my shortwave radio was my companion, my window on the world. How many hours I spent, and the thrill of getting that big “catch”, that elusive station. I waited anxiously for the next “Popular Electronics” with the latest shortwave listings. Good times.

I've had my license for 54 years and I still remember Morse code. Not bad, considering I can remember what I had for breakfast!

Ham radio is a great hobby.
Sometimes you need understanding neighbors though...like when you enjoy moon-bounce with your big dish like VK3UM does :-)

That would indeed be nice! But in case you haven’t been on the “magic band” lately, please be aware that the last few weeks have produced a lot of Es openings — including a few from eastern North America to western Europe. So it ain’t all bad!
