Eavesdropping Ham radio rag chewing makes me suicidal.

Apparently not, if you're still here to write that.

I've loved listening to distant international shortwave radio stations for
over 40 years, but there is nothing I would rather do less than listening to
hams and other transmissions on SSB. It's so boring!

Last night and this morning I was finally able to pull in some SSB on my
new
radio. Last night on 3885 I could very clearly hear a ham operator in
Rhinebeck, NY and his conversations (I felt like an eavesdropper!) And
this
morning (it was on 7"something") was the radio club from junior high
school #22
in New York City area on something called "class net". What is that?

I ocassionally listen to amateur radio but for the most part they are
pretty boring. It's the main reason I never followed through with
getting a ham' license. If I ever do, it will be for getting involved
with emergency communications. I saw what happened during the last big
ice storm a few years ago. The ham's were very helpful with keeping the
communications going.
