Default Let's take back ham radio!

Man, of COURSE, it's still around.

If you discuss ham radio with others, do you mention contacting the Space
Shuttle? ham radio satellites? weak signal work in VHF/UHF? Sporadic E?
Tropospheric Ducting? DX???

How about EME?

You don't have to be doing these things yourself, you just need to let
everyone know what the ENTIRE hobby is about.



Huh? You mean there is something besides CW?? Man, don't you know CW saves
lives?!?!?

Listen, Weak signals are for CW work on HF while boats are burning.
Contacting the space shuttle is just pointless unless you're correcting
their keplerian elements for the return flight path or asking if they really
drink Tang, Sporadic E [aka EMF bombing] is really ****ing off the
Condensation Entities that periodically enter the atmosphere to scan for
intelligent life, and tropospheric ducting is a lie. I happen to have the
control codes to several am-sats and I randomly change the freqs all the
time, and you suckers fall for it without fail....
And DX? Hello....? Internet....?

Interesting name, Woody. Yet, it seems to fit.
