I don’t necessarily think of Ham radio operators as geeky people without lives, but I do visualize them in a poorly lit basement chain-smoking and talking to somebody about nothing in Kuala Lumpur.

Probably be wrong then. I don’t smoke (never have, never will). I Do on occasion talk to others in foreign countries, and I do work with Skywarn here in town often. I’ve worked with ARES and RACES both over my years as a Ham. But, understand that they aren’t what you expect. :) (Though, some are, and they don’t take baths. lol)

Which is actually kind of cool, except fot the chain-smoking part.
And the poorly-lit basement.
