    Ham Radio?

    My Dad is handicapped from a stroke several years ago and I have been thinking that ham radio stuff might be an interesting thing for him to try.

    Does anyone know anything about this, because I'm completely mystified.

    I think each state has a ham radio assn. they probably have a web page in your state with member lists. See if you can get in touch with some of them, these people love thier stuff like a red neck loves to pull people out of ditch with thier four wheel drive.

    shanbaum is right on.

    I know a couple of hams who didn’t get started until they became housebound. Be careful though as Dad will probably be awake all night and sleeping all day.
