It sounds like you listened to rag chewers on 75 and came up with a knee-jerk impression that ham radio is boring. Ham radio is far more than what you observed. I advise that you check out some of the following before you give up on it: - QEX magazine - MSK144 meteor scatter and similar modes - CW Ops, CW radiosport - FlexRadio, SmartSDR, PowerSDR - The QDX transceiver, QRP Labs, etc. There is a tremendously active community of experimenters and people doing really interesting things. It takes a little bit of digging to find it. Much of it is on email lists rather than traditional discussion forums.
