Ham Radio Cartoons
Of Common Situations

I created small collection of ham radio cartoons because a significant number of you wrote to say that you had trouble finding good ones.

I hope most of the following cartoons will make you smile ;-) Some of them could make you ... think.

Ham Radio Cartoons
My Top Picks

Brings back memories for many of us :-)

Ham radio cartoons. Amateur radio op in action.

Let's be honest! We all love to tweak knobs! ;-)

There is nothing more satisfying than watching a needle swing across an amber backlit analog dial.

The more complicated the radio appears, the more satisfaction we derive out of making the "rig" work as intended. Right? Right! ;-)

Mmmm! A light snack is in order after a long night chasing DX.

Ham radio cartoons. Government inspector at work.

Government inspector finds you responsible for the RFI that your neighbors have been complaining about.

Now you know you should have spent a few extra dollars on a low pass filter.

(P.S. No ham radio cartoons would be complete without this "sobering" reminder ;-)

Ham radio cartoons. Raising funds for your next rig.

Raising funds for that new SDR transceiver you've been dreaming of.

(P.S. His club meet had finally reached quorum that night! He came back late one last time! Shouldn't have pushed his luck.)

That's it. I hope you enjoyed these ham radio cartoons. I know I enjoyed finding them and writing the captions for them. ;-)
