Pilots who are also Ham Radio ops... how many?
Just curious how many of us are out there?
One nice thing for me is that its so nice to be able to Ident an ILS/LOM/VOR or NDB without having to decode the dits and dahs.  )Scott K2ST N6482P

When I started the company 32 years ago, we did an informal poll using the now
obsolete electric typewriter and the ham call / pilot certificate printed books. While admittedly unscientific (we took the tenth name from each tenth page, giving us about a hundred fairly random samples), we found a roughly 1/3 - 1/3 crossbreeding between both sets. That is, one out of three pilots is a ham, one out of three hams is a pilot. That may no longer be true; I don't have any current sampling data to verify, although it would be one HELL of a lot easier to randomize the data today. Jim (WX6RST) and Gail (KB9MII) kontiki shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -Just curious how many of us are out there? - -One nice thing for me is that its so nice to be able to Ident an ILS/LOM/VOR or NDB -without having to decode the dits and dahs. )- -Scott -K2ST -N6482P Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.

The amusing story is one day Margy (while she was getting her pilot) and her instructor were flying along and I was in the back seat. They were getting erroneous information from the VOR and they had the ID turned up. After watching them cast about for several mintues I pointed out to them that it was sending T-E-S-T.
