For me it would have been buying the steam frame (but I am still in the waitlist). Also, I recently gotten into the 40k lore, but there is no way I can find the time and physical place to get into wargames.

    My experience from radio scanner use is that most of what hams actually do with their radios is talk with other hams about ham radios. :-)

      Using a scanner all across the US during road trips, ham people have only 3 topics:

      • radio equipment
      • the weather
      • what they did last weekend or plan to do next weekend

      I love it

      Is there not some kind of regulation that limits the topics that can be discussed over amateur radio ? Iirc its restricted to, well the radio equipment and other hobby stuff

        IIRC they can’t use it for commercial use, and I think that they may not be able to encrypt it. But in theory, they could talk about pretty much anything. Like, it could span everything that you might see on Reddit or something like that. But…when you get a lot of people together whose common factor is that they’re all interested in ham radios, they tend to talk about ham radios. :-)
