Elmer Fudds say, there’s nothing funny about Ham Radio.
1. Go read the ARRL Handbook, Antenna Book, get a MSEE and then ask your questions.
2. Why did you buy that? You should have bought __________.
3. What would you want to do that?
4. You clearly don’t understand grounding.
5. That’s illegal - or should be.

Used to do that to the newbs in high school electronics class. I'd been hit by HV from a charged cap at a much earlier age so I knew what was coming when one was tossed at me. I let it hit the floor but the poor stiff that grabbed it thinking I dropped it accidentally and he was going to beat me to it.

OSHA had only been around for about year when this picture was taken. I guess the news hadn’t caught up with his union yet.

Does this not work? Because I garbage picked an aluminum lawn chair specifically for the purpose of making an antenna.

Put 1500 watts into it

Not so much a joke, but if you want to see a nice visualization of frequency and wavelength...

I don't know why but this gave me a chuckle.

They don't have a "UR 5 9 " shirt....

Everyone is 5 9 even if barely audible.

The bottom one is me in reverse. Also if you replace the chick at the top with a cat, it's also me. Now I don't even have any cats, just a filthy house. A house full of radios and motorcycles.

If you’re happy, that’s all that counts.

I am not a HAM (yet) but I do have a box just like that.

Does that mean there is still hope for me?

Nope...no hope if you're like me. I actually have three plastic bins like that, one with USB/HDMI cables, USB wall warts, etc. Another one with wall warts (it's a tangled mess) and the other one is miscellaneous audio cables.

This could go in the dad joke thread, but it's ham related.
