My dad had a ham radio. Decades ago, it was almost exclusively a bunch of old guy’s from the WW2 generation. There was the occasional young person. But it was rare.
We also had a CB, back when CB was very popular. Tons of young people used the CB radios. But the standards for CB were very low, and you could get away with a lot (Kinda like filmboards). But ham radio had far stricter regulations, and if you screwed around on the ham bands, it would get the FCC on your tail, and the fines were harsh.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why people seem bright, until you hear them. -
