Skip, where you a radioman? I started out life as a nuke electrician on fast-attacks. Way back in the day a bunch of the EMs and ETs on board got the ham bug. We all sat for our tests and then had piles of gizmos to make stupid sound transmitters and other annoying toys.

Of course back then we had no money. We had no limits to our imagination on what to make but there was no internet to order stuff online and it was expensive as hell to make any of the really cool stuff.

I shudder to think about what we could do today
