- talldatethrow 3y agoI'm into 'overlanding' which is basically mild offroading. I got into ham radio a few years ago on a whim, and combining the two is great fun and gives a bit of purpose to both hobbies. Each trip I get to research repeaters. Program the radios. Test while traveling in different locations. Why am I driving 200 miles into the mountains this weekend? To use the ham radio. Why am I researching and using ham radios? To make driving in the mountains alone safer. It's a win/win.
- jimrob4 3y agoCamping and ham radio are an excellent combo. Being completely isolated while still being able to communicate with people at a distance. Something very cool about that.
- fruckyt 3y agoMinor nitpick: it’s “ham”. It’s not an acronym.
