Talk to people around the world.
The hams are doing something I find pretty interesting ... hooking to the internet repeaters for frequencies that typically wouldn't go around the world. I've use it to talk from Atlanta to the St Lawrence Seaway and Dallas on 2m (144 MHz), which typically is limited to a few dozen miles in range. I forget what the system is called, but if you're interested I'll dig around. You can listen online even if you don't have a ham license. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
