How many here have their ham radio license?

If, at some point, we can no longer contact each other via internet, we ought to have an alternate mathod.

(idea thanks to Eagle’s sharing of the Obama bill to control the internet)

>>>How many here have their ham radio license?<<<

LOL - Let’s see, 40+ years ago I was WN5WHT (a novice-hence the N)
but my wants for equipment exceeded my means... 6 kids (through that time)will do that...

Can still handle Int. Morse Code though. _._ _ . ._ _. ._._._ (YEP.)

Used to tinker with packet radio with a Vic 20.

Seriously though... I think answer is going to come through peer-to-peer wireless Ethernet, using packet technology. But, it is going to need someone younger than I to put it together. 20-30 years ago, I would have jumped on it, but now too much to do and not enough time or stamina.

Anyone have any more suggestions? I know we have some Amateur Radio Operators on here - would be interested in their thoughts.
