Now he can listen to a bunch of grumpy old men arguing about the need for learning code.

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 :-)

Hamming is fun. Morse code is hard to learn, but I know it. (great grandfather was a telegraph operator for the New Haven Railroad.)

Wow. The test must have been dumbed down a lot since the 60s-70s for a six-year old to pass.

My youngest got his when he was 10. He forgot to do the whole last page of the test but he still passed. He did practice tests online until he could pass them every time. The day he wanted to take the test, the local people weren’t giving it so we had to drive for ages to get to the place. He had a ball with it on 2m, but he got into a lot of things and hasn’t kept up. But he did just renew, so maybe he’ll get back in. His older brother bot his a few weeks ahead.
