Hard to say. When I originally got my license, I was only planning on being a Technician, and I was thinking about how to apply Amateur radio to my other hobby, Amateur astronomy. I really didn't have much interest in HF at all! then after a field day where I was allowed to operate, I was hooked. So my experience is likely not typical. In fact, if it wasn't for the Technician no-code license, I probably wouldn't be a Ham now. (to my great loss!!) I know many EMS/Fire folks and members of CAP who did the very same thing...They got an Amateur ticket by virtue of thier participation in "something else". Once they got in there with the rest of us, it was an open door from then on! My entry into ham radio was also by virtue of "something else." My husband at the time saw classes listed and had always wanted to be a ham (he'd had relatives who were hams). He said "let's do this together" and basically dragged me along as I had no interest at the time. Once I got involved in the class, I found it fascinating and not only got my Tech (with code) but immediately forged ahead to get my upgrades. Well that husband and I have parted ways, but I have remained active in ham radio except for the temporary effects of moving three times. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
