My dad was!
W6PXZ W6-Peter-Xray-Zanzibar
Used to sit in the 'ham-shack' and watch him CQ all the time...
Then there was the time when my sister's college roommate's dad was trying to
buy Palmyra island in
the Pacific and the only communications they had with guy left on the island
was via HAM, so my dad
offered to help out and served to be the comms dude here in the states for a
number of months. He
tried to track down a fuel injector for an old military generator set that was
still on the island.
He looked all around but don't think he ever found a replacement for it.
Unfortunately, the owners
of the island kept raising the price and the deal fell thru... Fun and
interesting while it lasted!
I was in my early to mid teens at that time...
And a close friend here in Reno is a HAM...

No, but do you know many HAMs?
