For the newbie, a FAQ, "What is _REAL_ Ham Radio?"
It is CB that is the "hobby". Ham radio is a technical pursuit,
a whole-life pre-occupation.
Technology changes, but it is still the essence of Radio Hams to
remain interested in and be motivated by technology.

Unfortunately, NO ONE builds Wimhurst Machines as a prelude
to becoming a ham these days. Maybe 80 years ago, but times
change. So does technology. Times change, hobbies change.
