What would getting a HAM license do for us? I'm thinking it just might be a fun thing to do. I understand the entertainment and hobby value, although I can't see myself spending hours at a time communicating with some unknown individual somewhere. Participating in group discussions like ETS is one thing, but I'd think one-on-one communication with an unknown person would be ... maybe a little strange feeling after the initial newness wore off? I don't know, maybe I'm wrong in what I think I understand about HAM radio. Is there a practical use for a HAM license? I have my degree in engineering, electrical specifically, but nowadays I'm 100% computer geek. Still, I think I could comprehend the technical aspects at least as well as the next guy.
