Before there was an Internet, before there were Cellphones, before there was Zoom or WebEx or Skype or anyone of a number of Voice over the Internet (VOIP); there was Ham Radio. The promise of talking to people not just in our own community but all over the world made the idea of Ham Radio exciting.

Ha I have almost the same story. Grandfather talking to people on his radio all day, missing dinner, and my grandma getting mad at him. He's one of the reasons I got into ham radio! Thanks for sharing your story!
