Depends on what you think of as ham radio.  I rather enjoy reading about
that sort of thing, as it has something technical to it.  On the other
hand, if I have to read (thank G*d for rn's kill files!) one more
article about lower-than-30MHZ-conversations-with-some-unknown-little-
forsaken-island-using-some-foreign-manufactured-rice-rocket-hooked-up-
to-some-store-bought-heap-of-aluminum-for-a-grand-total-of-10-seconds-to
exchange-signal-reports, I'll puke.

Ham radio is a diverse hobby.  I'm in it for the technical aspects, and 
to learn more about radio, television, digital, and other modes of
communications.  If I just want to talk to somebody, I'll use the
telephone.  Its cheaper and more reliable.

So please!  Tolerate the not-ham-radio-the-way-the-ARRL-invented-it
traffic as well as the more traditional stuff here in ham-rado.  Some of
us like it!

Oh yes, if you want to look for me on the air, I'll be there.  I rarely
get below 420MHz, though.
