What is HAM radio like these days, anyway?

I was friends with a couple of HAMs way back in the 80s and it had a lot to do with CW transmissions and building your own analog radio, and I think the advanced license allowed you to do stuff like slow scan TV.

I've gotta assume things have changed since so much else to do with communication has. What's the general vibe now?

I suppose I never did a proper #introduction post. Hi, I'm Reboot Kid. I got into Information Security after spending several years in general IT support, both at the desktop and network layer. It was in the "I-Love-You" and "SQL-Slammer" days when I first started working on vulnerability assessments, patching, and remediation. It's been a climb up the hill since then, and I try #mentor others along the path into the industry as well. I've been a #defcon attendee since DC17.

Other than that, I'm big into outdoorsy stuff like #camping ,#fishing , #offroading , and #hiking .

I'm also a #ham or #amateurradio fan, and enjoy spending time on digital modes or working with #winlink to see just how effective I can make email over radio. I'm also a #volunteerexaminer with #arrl and #glaarg
