First became one when I took a little AM radio apart when I was 12 years old and put it back together again. It has culminated into my addiction over the decades, including having to enlist in the Army, MOS being 064C and it ballooned after that. Some costing thousands. Then things took a turn around when you mix computers and radios together, oh boy!! Who would of thought? People looking at my antenna as it goes up and down sometimes as I band hop. Just the look on there faces. I'm a radio Dork and there is no cure except more more more.
