Pure exchange of thoughts and the sharing of common experiences. A service that is others-centered. Ham Radio is just a channel that allows society to communicate. What we communicate and how is an extension of who we are and what we believe. So my hope is that my boys, and I, exemplify a high standard that impacts the world of humankind with something of value.
Life is simple.
Really, it is. And Amateur Radio is not God's gift to the world. But it is a very valuable pursuit. The foundation of this hobby is made in part of the value of life and the respect of each other. Modes of operation in Ham Radio is really insignificant.
