Announcements / Comments

Question #149 for conversation: Do you have any family members who are also amateur radio operators? What do the non-ham family members think of your hobby?

(If interested in submitting a weekly question, email n5zkf@arrl.net)

Matthew Barry (KG5LYE)

• Dad and I are the only hams in the family
• Everyone else has other hobbies and are quite busy
• They are all capable of learning, but they just aren’t too interested, and just not a great fit for them
  • Would be willing to learn if the need arose
• Other family members tend to be a bit quieter

David Bailey (K5DKB)

• My wife has humored my by getting her license
• No one else
