Always disappointed when I fire up my ham and no bacon appears.

Last year I was in Ham Radio club, this year I got my technicians license and the club is starting up again in October, radio is pretty cool

My fiance just got his HAM License a month or so ago. Now I know he's not a blackbelt in ham sandwiches. Very disappointed.

Hey @OP, my dad is a hamster. ARES in North Florida
TransistorRadio
No one says "hamster"
HighPriestessofSoFrickingTired
My dad and all his hamster friends say hamster. They go to Orlando ever year for HamsterCon.
TransistorRadio
I've been a ham for 20+ years, and I've never heard anyone say that. Must be a Florida thing. We do have hamfests, and there's a Hamvention.

Nice!
nobodyaskedme
You just gave away his username?! Now he's going to get spam in his ham box! Or whatever.

ARES stands for Amateur Radio Emergency Service. Not a username.

My son got to do this at a Boy Scout thing. He thought it was so cool, and the people on the other end were GREAT with the scouts.

FFS this is the second contact reference that's almost made me cry today. Fucking phenomenal film.
TransistorRadio
Fun fact, the father of radio astronomy (Grote Reber) had callsign W9GFZ. That line in Contact was a nod to him.
