Ham radio is the perfect blend of technology, adventure and toys.
The challenge of learning morse code and electronic theory are matched by the adventure of talking to people in places you'll never, ever go. Then there's the world of computers, invading every facet of the hobby. Computers are involved in ham radio doing everything from antenna design and electronic circuit analysis to digital communications across town and around the world. Hams have taken the message handling capabilities of digital computer communication to new heights in emergency management and disaster relief, and there is no community struck by natural disaster, from twisters to hurricanes, that doesn't count on ham operators to be there first and establish the first communication available. Tell your friends about Bubba too.
