 pa> You know the main reason I haven't been turning on to HAM? Because
 pa> theres no talk of it... 

I believe there is a lot of talk of it, over radio wave signals or bounced off 
the moon. I know one person in my country who is an operator. same procedure as 
in US I believe, you need to get certified, otherwise it's illegal and your 
signal can be hunted down with penalties.

Not a big deal as there is not so much regulation simple mind most likely can 
comprehend, but the whole official procedure is what stops me.

I just don't have time to be so much committed to it yet. It's always more 
about: "I love the idea, but later". 

It's much easier with BBS, you just buy VPS, setup linux, install Mystic and 
you're on. you just need to pay the bill, and/or hardware if you want to extend 
your capabilities. The only function is time and dedication as all the rest is 
free.

With HAM seems that the exams and regulations behind is what is stopping 
younger generation to dwell deeper. We're all less patient than our parents to 
drive something forward. I've slowed down a lot, but still kind of in the 
middle of my journey to appreciate things beyond simple consumerism.

HAM Radio is like way ahead in my journey to oppose consumerism.

But I absolutely love the potential this medium brings to feel unique, 
underground, special... and also I don't know.. me turning 40+ and I learn new 
layers of respect to the elder generations as I fucking start understand they 
all were damn right about absolutely everything. In most cases...

So like in this movie, passing this passion to next generations is something I 
already pick as a value itself.
