Just curious......is shortwave radio not somewhat obsolete now with internet access everywre? I mean, you can damn near pick up any radio station in N. America worth it's salt, via net.
Somewhat off topic. What the hell is ham radio all about? Is it just about talking to some dude about nothing thousands of miles away? If so, what's the attraction with that? Seems every neighborhood in town has at least one or two houses with one or two 2000' friggin antennae on top. Must be something cool about it??
