I had a lot of friends in Alaska back in lthe 60's that were Ham radio operators & we use to have a lot of fun conversing with people all over the world. Actually, during the Alaska earthquake on March 27 @ 5:37 pm in 1964, the Ham's were the only ones that were able to get the word out to the lower 48 because the whole state was without power... Ham's usually had their own backup power..

Hams are almost always the *ONLY* ones who can communicate in a real emergency.
You should go get your license. You don't need to know morse anymore for *ANY* ham radio license (but of course we encourage it). |
