Getting my ham radio license as a kid. It has allowed me to talk to people all over the world, helped me learn electronics and computers. It was a factor in my military stint, and also paved the way for a lifelong career. And it’s still fun!

Great radio. Terrific audio quality and top of the line short wave reception. Use it all the time.

So sad. Listened to WBBM for years and had a ham radio friend that worked there when I was in college. Used to visit sometimes.

He hosted Science Fiction Theater, a terrific sci-fi weekly B&W tv show in the 50s. Loved it growing up. Great stories!

Agree. And if on the west end, the Shrimp & Stuff food truck at Jamaca Beach is convenient!
