I think that getting your ticket is a privilege and I am working on getting mine. I am 46 and I know a lot of people, but I don't personally know any hams. My grandfather was a ham and made his own radios in the beginning of the last century. Even though he died when I was very young, I still feel a strong connection to him and I am proud to follow in his foot steps. It is sort of a proud nostalgia that I feel. I don't know what draws others to this hobby and the younger generations are wired completely different. If you look at this hobby in the past 10 years, I wonder where it will be in the next ten years?

Sorry for my rambling. (Fourth cup of coffee)

[QUOTE="Shadetree Mechanic, post: 618045, member: 50927"] I think that getting your ticket is a privilege and I am working on getting mine. I am 46 and I know a lot of people, but I don't personally know any hams. My grandfather was a ham and made his own radios in the beginning of the last century. Even though he died when I was very young, I still feel a strong connection to him and I am proud to follow in his foot steps. It is sort of a proud nostalgia that I feel. I don't know what draws others to this hobby and the younger generations are wired completely different.
