Dee:

That is another interesting statistic--most women in radio are the wives
of hams--there is certainly some interesting reasons behind that, I am
sure... I think it directly relates to "Good-Old Boy's Club" but them
accepting the wife, daughter, relative of a member of the club...

Tell that to our friend Claire who is the NCS of the Beaver State
(CW) Traffic Net - high-speed CW. And she's no dummy - retired PhD
in a specialized field of the biological sciences.

So much for generalizations.

Definitely avoid generalizations. I originally got interested in ham
radio because my husband of the time asked me to be involved with him.
Code was part of the class and test. I didn't particularly have any
feelings against it or for it. However now I enjoy it.
