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?

I passed my "ham" test in 1979 and now that the code requirement has
been completely removed for amateur radio I have full access to all
bands, but I never get on the air.



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