You're a Ham if : - you buy electrical black tape in ten packs. - you've stripped wire with your teeth. - you've told your son that, "One day, all this will be yours", and he doesn't respond. - you'd rather help a buddy put up a new tower than mow the lawn. - you've grabbed the wrong end of a soldering iron. - you start giving out RST reports when you are on the telephone. - the propagation forecast means far more to you than the local weather forecast. - the microphone or visual aids at a meeting don't work and you rush up to the front to fix it. - you tell the XYL, when she notices a new rig in the shack, why that has been there for years. - your watch is set only to UTC. - at night, when you pray, it starts off something like: CQ CQ CQ GOD DE (your callsign). - you ever had to patch your roof after an antenna project. - Ham radio magazines comprise more than 50% of your bathroom library. - you ever put a GPS tracker in the XYL's car, just so you could watch her on APRS. - you and the XYL took a cruise so you could visit the radio room. - you ever tapped out HI in Morse on your car horn to another ham. - you ever had an antenna fall down. - your teenager refuses to ride in your car because it looks like a porcupine. - you know the Latitude and Longitude of your home QTH. - you go into the local Radio Shack store and the clerk asks you where something is
