A Revolution in Amateur Radio

In an effort to expand the idea of a truly modern amateur radio operator. To dispel the notion of the fat, old, nerdy, dirty, socially stunted ham radio operator that many in society holds. And finally, to hopefully breed new life into an aging, yet very deserving hobby with tons to offer society. We have started a new club in the central Indiana area. All are ok to join at the discretion of current board members.

Simply put Ham radio is a valuable service in times of need and in better times, but what people seem to forget is that the hobby of amateur radio is possibly more important than the service it provides. If it weren’t for the hobby, for peoples love of radio and habitual use of radio gear on a daily basis when the time came to put our skills in action, the skills just wouldn’t be there. And as amateur licenses are at the highest number EVER in the U.S. we all have noticed a distinctive drop in the number of active hams. Why is this? My thought is that they get chased off shortly after getting their license or get disgusted eventually as I have. We need to save this hobby. It is a very valuable hobby in every aspect but unfortunately a select few are killing it from the inside while giving the public a bad view at the same time. How many of you would almost rather not even tell friends and family about your hobby because when you do, you are greeted with “CB died in the 70s” or “what a nerd” type comments? I bet its a lot. We need to change that. RadioActive Ham/s is on a mission to reinvigorate ham radio with new life, new meaning and save this amazing hobby from the path it is on.
