Does anyone still "do" ham? There are cell phones, 15 mile range 2

Why would anyone want to take a test to communicate? with Star Trek
convention grade people??

For that matter why would anyone learn how to avoid top posting?

bands, but I never get on the air.



You aren't smart enough to turn a radio on? Bummer.
