Well Rich,
Guess you are a late comer.
I got my ham license at age 14 and I am now 77. I've been married 18
years. She was married to ham before me, so had been "broke-in" before
getting "saddled" with me (western sayin). That was the good news and
the bad news.
When she arrived north to live with me, I already had a 50-foot tower up
and 8-foot dish inside a "golfball" radome. She wanted a nicer home but
knew there were two requirements: room for my 13 sled dogs and room for
my antennas (and ham shack). Now I have four towers and a 16-foot dish.
All the sled dogs have passed onto "dog heaven" and only have one
house dog which is hers.
She knows the money goes into ham stuff and not beers at the local pub
(plus skirt chasing).
And she is even the NA sales rep for Dubus Magazine (which she gets a
little 'pin' money from). Dubus is published in Germany and is VHF/mw
ham technical magazine + European VHF activity news. She even has
accompanied me to ham conferences.
She is not a ham. But she is a good one and I'm keeping her!

I?ve been married for 38 years.
I?ve been a ham since 2015.
Gotta pick my battles.
