A new hobby?

I covered the Ham Fest at Southington High School this past Sunday, and I think I may be on to a new hobby. I might not be able to afford a ham radio right now - but somewhere down the line, I think I do want to set one up. The "hams" - ham radio users - are very into their hobby. There's a whole lot to it, but when it comes down to it, ham radio is the basis of a lot of communication we use today. One point that kept coming up was, when all other forms of communication fail in disasters (internet, phone, etc.), ham radios still work. Really cool.

Here's the article I wrote: Ham Fest brings 'hams' together, off the airwaves.

Note: I was also told the article's going to mentioned in a ham radio magazine.
