comador @lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Radio geeks say you can still get 'lost' DoD hurricane dataEnglish2·3 days agoFun fact! I’m studying for my amateur radio technician license and learned that ham came from calling amateur telegraph operators’ sloppy work ‘ham-fisted’.

I’ll assume FCC Technician license; it’s a fun hobby. I have had a General license since the 1990s when the FCC still required a proficiency in morris code. At a cost of $35 to renew and the ability to have a cellphone alternative while traveling long distance by car, it’s worth keeping.
Have fun, find your Ham niche and enjoy it for the rest of your life!

Hams are responsible for helping out in just about every natural disaster, war, power outage and anything else where a cellphone signal cannot be had.
In truth though, hams are just a bunch of likeminded nerds with a love of the airwaves.
