In article , "Dee D. Flint"
writes: 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. GREAT story, Dee, and it proves my point: The real problem was that you didn't know much about ham radio, not that "the tests were too hard" or "Morse code was a barrier". Once you knew what ham radio had to offer, you just went for it. And it wasn't a "make spouse/parents happy" thing, but a genuine interst on your part. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
