[Hoot Gibson]

Ham radio. I was first licensed about 25 years ago but never became active and let my license expire. Then a couple of months ago, I passed by Technician and General license exams. I have been busy putting together my "shack," but I am planning to operate mostly portable, with a battery operated transceiver and a "go bag." I thought ham radio was on the decline, but there are more than 700,000 licensed operators in the U.S., which is the biggest number ever.

I also read quite a bit of non-fiction, and listen to a lot of sci-fi via streaming Audible books in the car,
