Comment on (CW: misogyny, mention of murder) I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the culture of this hobby

got my tech within the last year, was stunned at how not old-white-guy the class was. all age groups, balanced genders, mixed races. many seemed there for neighborhood emergency teams. the airwaves are dead most of the time i’ve turned the rig on, except during the net hour. i feared exactly what you’ve heard but thankfully haven’t run into it. yet.

That’s really cool, especially people getting their licenses to help their community. Hoping you don’t have to encounter the kind of stuff I have, ever.
The bands are usually dead here too lol… except for the repeaters during the day
I’m hoping maybe the clubs and the hams in my city will be better
