Friends that just don't understand why you like radio so much.

Any of you like me?
I have many friends that just don't understand my enjoyment of CB/Amateur radio.
I have tried to give them equipment to use hoping it would spark some interest in the hobby, but it never worked.

I guess some people are radio people and the majority of folks are not.

No idea!
But like you said, some people are just 'radio' people and the rest are... normal?

Yes a lot of my friends don't get it, I have lost count of how many times I have herd "you can use a phone you know".

While entertaining one night with a bunch of friends standing around the fire bucket with guts full of piss they decided that our place is now called the dish, named after the Aussie movie "the Dish"-great movie btw.

Most of friends aren't Cbers and they are amazed that I can talk across the country out of my truck and base setups.
What they really don't understand is why the Cbers on channel 6 have to scream and yell into their microphones. :laugh:
To each his own.

I have been into radio for 35 years and I still don't understand. :sad:

Is that the one with Sam Neill about the NASA ground station in the middle of nowhere? I loved the part when they accidentally moved the dish and had no idea how to realign it back up with the spacecraft. Then one guy had a brainstorm. "Wait...they are going to the moon aren't they" Then let's point the dish at the moon!" :w00t: Your are right.Good movie.

Sure is my friend
That Dish is located in Parkes NSW about 5-6hours from me.
It is an impressive antenna to look at indeed
