    Default Ham Radios....anyone in to it?

    Due to chatter on another forum I've developed a small fascination with ham radio.

    I just bought a small handheld unit with all kinds of options/accessories. I'm totally lost, atm.

    Is anyone already a licensed user and if so, do you have any guidance for a newb? I mostly want to be able to monitor some channels, (not sure what yet) and be able to communicate should cell towers and the internet have a bad day.

    Thanks for any information or guidance!

    Ask Rick, he'll know.

    Seriously, I've always been fascinated with it but not sure I would ever delve into it as I'm always so busy with other things.

    There was more of them operating when I was younger (at least it seemed that way). Same with CB radios. You could talk to people in other countries like California and West Virginia.

    I had a CB radio in my car years ago for about 20 minutes. You would get on the highway and turn the CB on and hear " This is weird person, is anyone out there, c'mon back". That was the end of my CB experience.

    As for Ham Radios, I haven't heard them mentioned in decades, but I guess there are people that still talk on them.

    I believe you’re supposed to be licensed using one.

    When I was a kid, the coolest thing was to dial in to the truckers on our walkie talkies. Not quite ham radio, lol.
