Simple Test for Ham Radio Addiction Syndrome (HRAS)


1. Can you go without ham radio for 90 days?

I suppose, but why?

2. Have you gone more than three days without bathing?

Never more than 24 hours, and usually twice a day.

3. Are the clothes you wear dirty and smell?

When I work and they get dirty.

4. Do you take your meals in the ham radio shack?

Sometimes.

5. Have you constructed a separate building behind your home
for ham radio?

Now that would be cool!

6. Do your neighbors hate you because of TVI?

Awww, now I'm starting to get bored. I'll just answer the ones I feel
like from here on.

7. Do your kids or grandkids wonder if they have a father
or grandfather?
8. Have you ever done a family activity which does not involve
taking your ham radios with you?
9. Have you forced your xyl & kids to get their tickets? Be honest.
10. Do people stare in awe at your car or truck because it has so
many stupid looking antennas on it?
11. Do you come to this forum to bicker with other hams?


You mean like you do?

If you were honest and answered two or more of these questions
in the affirmative,

I answered them in my house. Is an affirmative like an outhouse or sumpin'?


chances are good that you suffer from HRAS.
Help is available from fellow hams who have recovered from HRAS.

Chances are that you are!
