The Ham Radio Cartoon
What Motivates It?

For instance...

  • Climbing up towers at all ages, in all kinds of weather, to make that all-important installation or emergency repair.

  • Walking around with a dangerous-looking hunting sling-shot (...bow or crossbow) and occasionally taking a pot shot at something invisible just over that big tree in the back yard ... then pulling back on an invisible fishing line muttering unprintable words! :-)

  • Talking to an invisible human being in a middle of the night about things that have apparently no useful purpose.

  • For old timers like me ... pounding away something totally incomprehensible in CW ... with a big grin on my face! :-)

  • Getting up in the middle of the night to try and catch a 20 meter opening to Australia ... leaving my wife behind to wonder what the ...

All things considered, it's no wonder we are the subject of generally well deserved and (fortunately) often funny cartoons.

Each amateur radio cartoon on this next page comes with a caption. They are bound to make you smile!
