I got licensed because I like the “radio” part of ham radio.

Computers? Cool…hook them to radios.

Networking protocols? Cool, how can I use radios to build networks?

Packet radio? Still has radio involved.

All-star node? Great! It’s hooked into a dedicated radio.

Just got my first HF amplifier for my…you guessed it, HF radio.

OK I’m starting to sound like an ass. I don’t understand why anyone would go through the trouble to test and get licensed only to get involved with things that have…no radio?
