Are you an Old Ham Radio Geezer?

You know you are a radio Geezer when:

• you have more tools than you’ll ever need, but can’t find them.
• you need to keep your radio’s user manual on the desk.
• your antennas are getting smaller and closer to the ground.
• it’s been 40 years since you’ve had the snot shocked out of you.
• you forget the band plans.
• you check into the weather net, the noontime net, the Bell Telephone net, and some other net just because they are there.
• you still have a phone patch and Q multiplier in the cabinet.
• your radio warms up faster than you do .
• RF gets into your hearing aid.
• you have to find your teeth to have a QSO.
• you can no longer see the parts used to make radios.
• you know how to properly tie a wire bundle using waxed string.
• some of your test gear is older than your adult children.
• you have to add light in front of your radio so you can read the dials.
• you buy a piece of gear only to find out you already had one in the garage you forgot about.
• you can no longer log, make QSO’s and drive at the same time.
• you realize a Life Membership in the ARRL is no longer a good value.
