My nana was totally addicted to both police scanners and CBs.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I always meant to, really. My granddad (before he moved to CA) was WB3IQL.

Mine's only a Technician Class. Means I don't have to know morse code. One of these years, I may actually spend enough time to get proficient and upgrade my license. Still, I've never had a radio and probably never will. I got my license to make my dad happy, easy enough to do.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I *love* CBs. When I was growing up, we didn't have phones on the island in Canada yet, and we were on the CB all the time. Then they put up a cell tower in Bruce Mines, and now nobody uses them any more. So sad!

My DH is KG6PCM, but he uses it only for hang gliding -- it's the flying to which he's addicted.

As an electronics technician, it's kind of nice to have because it adds a layer of proficiency on your resume. There are more in-depth non-amateur radio FCC licenses that are better to have, sometimes necessary, but every little bit helps.

Okay, which one of you has a working teleporter, and why aren't you sharing it with the rest of us. In the past two weeks at work, I have done double-takes because I could have sworn I saw MM, Sean, and DX. Today it was Cass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, that is so naive to thing someone's using a teleporter. It's much more likely that in the future, MM, Sean, and DX are traveling back in time just to confuse you.

Oh. Good point.

Ooh, ooh! I saw Cass in Chicago yesterday. And AmyLiz the day before that.
