Found an emergency CB radio after we moved a few miles out of town away from my friends. By 16 I was modding CB radios for friends, fixing mics and meter lights, installing antennae/radios in cars and homes... Ended up getting a degree and working in the field, mostly, for about 30 years.
2 of my favorite hamtubers. I received a present of a pair of CB 100mW walkie talkies around 1970 or so. Then a regenerative SW receiver I built as a kit, with maybe 50 feet of wire from my window to a tree. So it began.
That was great, Sean is loving the DX 50 wire .made a video on it. I got some as well. handles NY winters just fine. Sean sells some 3D printed antenna kits or just the winder base. I made a end fed half wave with the DX 50 wire and Sean's winder base. works great ! jumping out of a good airplane to talk on HAM radio can be quite fun. love this hobby. just so much to do with it. never board. look at Jim W6LG he was a ham since 1964. still loves ham radio . Cheers from NY,USA !!
As a youngster in the 70's I was surrounded by the CB craze with its local and "skip" communications, however when my family got a Realistic Globester 5, I learned what shortwave was and that got me into amateur radio. I tinkered on everything I could, also.
My love of radio started when my uncle got me walkie talkies that operated on cb channel 14 for Christmas one year. I made a contact with a kid up the street one day, we visited and became friends.
@@DXCommanderHQ Well heck, I didn't know you were a Jack of Photoshop too! yeah, it's a great job. You made me think about it a bit more, and as a kid, THAT was my first radio. 49mhz and had morse code charts front. Key down and hit the orange button to dit, dah or just agitate a teacher.

something new for me is a new radio!

How wonderful!
I got into ham radio because of storm chasers. I have a fascination with severe weather. It was back when phones were available but still expensive.
Wow. That's amazing.
Cool Stuff - 2 Brilliant guys in video

Yes!
