26/ The Hamfest Guys
"Hamfest" sounds like a gluttonous pork event, but it's a flea-market style gathering of ham radio operators. My son and I attend several every year. The hams (almost all male) range from MIT professor types to those whose radio conversations might be their only regular contact with the outside world. Mostly they're friendly and fun to talk to. I'm glad my license makes me one of them, call-sign hat and all.

And in the event of an apocalypse, I only have to find my way through the woods to you, for news?
ReplyDeleteLOL Yup, that's about it, Kim.
DeleteI'm seeing movie possibilities all over your life now. "Hamfest" sounds like it might make a good documentary (or mockumentary, perhaps?).
