• I used to be quite interested in radio communications, have had several wide band receivers & scanners over the years.  Still have an Icom PCR1000 & a Yaesu VR-120 that I listen to occasionally.  I considered getting my ham ticket a few times, but just never seemed to have the free time to go do it.
  
  Bob Parnass developed computer software for the VR120, I helped test it out.  Earned me a mention in his Monitoring Times column a few years ago.

  Getting a Ham license is much easier today. Sounds like you would fit right in!
