I thought about the Ham operator hobby but my parents got a CB radio in the 1970s and left that motherfucking thing on constantly. I'm glad that fad went away. :thumbdn:

Was looking up numbers stations (creepy as fuck, almost convinced something's behind my bed to choke me now over them), now I want a decent radio too.
