Amateur radio operators

As the topic suggests, any Toytowners out there into, or indeed, hold an amateur radio license?

Or indeed play with fire on the 27Mhz Band??

Anyone???

Isn't amateur radio somewhat dead in the wake of podcasts and ustream and shit like that?

Errrrr nope!!!

Long time since I saw a ten-foot dipole anywhere. Best way to find out is to do that CQ-CQ-CQDX thing and ask.

I'd imagine it's still quite popular among gents of a certain age, the kind of lads who keep Maplins in business, even RTTY still appears to have enthusiasts. Must be oddly satisfying printing out weather images you've intercepted in the comfort of your own shack.
