I like AM radio. It's easy to understand what it's doing and how it does it. I'm also fond of low-frequency RF, the lower the better. When I got a chance to do something at the transmitter shack, I'd go. Down near the bottom of the AM band... it got me high. (The frequencies uses for broadast TV do nothing for me.) Now, long ago there were some sub-super-infra-low radio frequencies used for communicating with submarines underwater, and I always wishe I'd had a chance to go near one of their transmitter arrays. But the subs now use satellites and message compression so they only have to surface for a few seconds to send and record messages.
I never had a ham license. My family coulnd't have afforded to buy me the equipment. I never had to learn Morse code! But I got a first class radiotelephone operator's license around 48 years ago, and I might be able to convince the FCC to reinstate it somehow. (Not that I'm going back to a job in radio - not at my age!)
