Does anybody ever ask what your dish(s) are for?

[mrweather]

I've already got a 35' tower with assorted ham radio antennae so putting up a 90cm dish didn't raise any eyebrows!

 

[iafirebuff]

The dish probably looks pretty small then

I'm also a Ham Radio operator, so Imigine, Dishes and Antennas. Ooers.
And I'm always out there tweaking something.

A new neighbor moved in and asked if I worked for the CIA.

I am a ham also - KC0HBB. Have not been active in the hobby for a few years though.

We seem to have MANY Hams here

My wife says I always pick the nerdy hobbies to have. Hmm...wonder what she meant by that?

I was with some people who did not know where I lived. They were talking about some Al Queda terrorist that had moved into the sub-division. When asked how they knew, they said "have you seen all the satellite dishes on that roof"

As usual to HAM it up means something different in the UK

The wife has the FULL ham license as does my best friend in the UK.

LOL, I knew what you meant Pete, I was just "hamming it up"

I am not a firefighter, but my father is a retired (34 years) professional firefighter, so I have always been a "firebuff" I am the official unofficial photographer for a local department, and have remained close to the fire service. I also maintain the history for a local department. I am always on the look out for fires and equipment to photograph

Ok just had a look at your site nice work, its good to see people support the efforts of the protection we all take for granted.
I'll keep a look out for any interesting pics from my neck of the woods.
