**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

That’s no surprise: being a ham is a lot of fun, providing an independent way to keep in touch with friends, family, and new acquaintances around the world―and even beyond with its ability to connect with the International Space Station! Respond to the call of ham radio Despite its old-school reputation, amateur radio is on the rise, and the airwaves are busier than ever. Hams are also good in a crisis, keeping communications alive and crackling during extreme weather events and loss of communications until regular systems like cell phones and the internet are restored. Additionally, it’s enjoyable for good, old-fashioned tech geek reasons―fiddling with circuits and bouncing signals off the ionosphere just happens to give a lot of us a buzz!
