Radio Operators

[SkidSteerSteve]

Just out of curiosity, how many of you guy are also Amateur Radio operators? I figure there has to be some cross pollination between the two fields

I'm a Ham Op as well.
Advanced Class for a long while.

But I wonder if it's a good thing to throw call signs out on the net, given the ability ( if you are good in the Call Book ) to obtain too much information about yourself?

We operate from HF to Microwave, mostly HF and VHF though.

Somewhere I have a microwave oven with an antenna jack on the back and a microphone. ( I'll probably get cancer from operating that thing years ago )

I'm also a ham radio operator. You have a point Harcosparky about posting your callsign.

I used to have my First Class Ticket, then a advanced amateur. You are not suppose to give out information these days, especially if you give a location with your call sign.

These days I have lost interest in such things, so I buy welders and weld.

Radio Operator?

Nah,,,,,,,
I'm still trying to figure out how to make the VCR stop blinking '12:00' over and over.

Actually it's interesting to just googl a call sign ....

For example one call sign posted in here worked Field Day from the summit of Grass Mountain in 1969. They ran a class 1A station.

Another call sign worked the June 1998 VHF QSO Party, scored 299 points on 144 Mhz and 103 points on 432.

And yet another ham here, licensed a looong time seems to not have done much in the way of contests or club activity.

I didn't go looking for any non-ham related data but I do use Google in the course of working other hams on HF from time to time.
