Does he have a licensee for that Ham?   A licence for extra ham may be a good idea.

Perhaps I need to get my antenna working then so I can tune in better. My antenna has been my nemesis.

You could also tune in via internet websites

Also apparently as lore goes, the term ham was originally a derogatory term for a Ham fisted CW operator but caught on as as just what Hams are called.  Either that or they were all a bunch of jokers. lol

My mom's cousin was a ham operator and during WWII the government came along and pulled out a couple of pieces so it was inoperable.

I would have become a ham in early 70s, but at that time if there was a war, you just volunteered to be in the military. Had just become a Witness thus that was out. A few years later that all changed, but had kids by that time, no time, no money. 🤑💰⌚
