Simple Test for Ham Radio Addiction Syndrome (HRAS)


1. Can you go without ham radio for 90 days? NO
2. Have you gone more than three days without bathing? NO
3. Are the clothes you wear dirty and smell? NO
4. Do you take your meals in the ham radio shack? NO
5. Have you constructed a separate building behind your home
for ham radio? NO
6. Do your neighbors hate you because of TVI? NO
7. Do your kids or grandkids wonder if they have a father
or grandfather? NO
8. Have you ever done a family activity which does not involve
taking your ham radios with you? YES
9. Have you forced your xyl & kids to get their tickets? Be honest. NO
10. Do people stare in awe at your car or truck because it has so
many stupid looking antennas on it? NO
11. Do you come to this forum to bicker with other hams? NO


If you were honest and answered two or more of these questions
in the affirmative, chances are good that you suffer from HRAS.


Somehow answering question #8 to say that I've done stuff with
the family without ham radio being involved yields an affirmative.

And answering question 1# to say that I can't go more than 90
days without doing someting involving ham radio yields a
not affirmative answer. Had I said that I could do without
ham radio for 90 days would then force the conclusion that
I have HRAS...

Your survey has "bugs"...
