Ham Radio Enthusiast Survey
By: John Wendt WA6BFH


I am writing this document to ask for the help of those hams who value our "hobby", and who hold it as more. By more I mean to appeal to those who consider it an avocation or votary pursuit. That is those who consider it one of the most important things in their lives, outside of family or career considerations. I am also interested in hearing from those who have made Ham Radio their career, or from those who have become employed in electronics or radio as a result of becoming an Amateur Radio (Ham) operator.

Please answer these survey questions:
