SpyD Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 This is a serious question. I tried google and it didnt really answer the question. Do these people consider it fun? Do they just wanna be cool and have the words "HAM RADIO" on their license plate? Do you meet bitches on there like myspace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClueTwo Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Amateur radio probably is a secret cult, and if you've seen the fuckers that sport that shit you'd agree... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_casek Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 i think it's neat, but only because i like antennas. as we all know, with a big antenna, you can leech internet from people 3 blocks away. /stealin ur pornz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogie hands Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 my dad did the amateur radio thing for a couple of years. had the whole set up going, huge antenna and all. i never really figured out why the fuck he did it. he would just contact various people around the country, they would exchange call signs and that would be that. from what i remember the process of getting into it was really interesting but once it was all set up and figured out it got kind of boring. needless to say the ham radio stuff just kind of disappeared one day.

blood fart Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I think I might get into this. I am a pretty big creep. Last night my ex said that if I got my shit together, I could probably buy a tv one day. I don't want a tv. Television isn't going to get me laid. Dude.

CALIgula Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 ham radio is the elderly peoples version of channel zero... seriously...i used to pick up their conversations on my scanner.....most boring shit ever...theyd usually be talking about fishing.

MAR Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 ham radio is the elderly peoples version of channel zero... seriously...i used to pick up their conversations on my scanner.....most boring shit ever...theyd usually be talking about fishing. This is pretty much it. My next door neighbor is into it he's in his 70's. We talked about it one time. Basically he meets up with other ham radio operators every now and again and they talk about the places they've reached and messages they've intercepted. He told me once he got a SOS from a shipping freighter near India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALIgula Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 ^^i would pick up random conversations on ham radio while trying to pick up cordless phone conversations on the people in my neighborhood... they both run on low frequency, so it was easy to pick up either/or.... this reminds me...i need to find my scanner...i used to pick up all the police frequencies and listen to all the shit going down in my town...

potholder Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 this reminds me...i need to find my scanner...i used to pick up all the police frequencies and listen to all the shit going down in my town... unfortunately, most systems in larger cities have moved to trunked 800mhz or digital systems (which will require a newer scanner). a number of communities are using encryption, in addition to the digital these days, making it pretty much impossible to monitor.

Spitfire15 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 ham radio is the elderly peoples version of channel zero... seriously...i used to pick up their conversations on my scanner.....most boring shit ever...theyd usually be talking about fishing. Pretty much.My parents have a story. I was young'n and my folks were driving down alligator alley in their bronco. There were a few people going back and forth on the CB. Everyone has a handle like they do on here "ie: Spitfire, Mar, Caligula, etc." So these peoples names were "Crankbait" "Jitterbug" and some other fishing lure. The conversation basically centered around some womans "..trip down to THE walmart to get a bite to eat." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanity Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 when I was a teenager, I had a caddy w/ a CB in it. we'd get drunk and talk shit to people. Old ladies would hit on us, we'd freestyle, and listen to truckers call us jungle bunnies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
