24' Antenna on my R-Pod

I've come close to getting my license a few times.  In the 80's I read the complete ARRL reference for several years running (it was a 3 or 4 inch thick book), which along with a background in electronics would have gotten me past the written test.  I even looked up a local test center.  I just never could bring myself to learn code.  When the morse requirement was dropped I almost went for it again - but life got in the way.  Maybe some day...

Looks like we have a few hams!   I second Cane2...go for it...even 5 yr olds are getting their license.  I do understand about "life" however.  In my younger years, the flame burned hot, but then came the University, girls, marriage, career, etc. - I'm sure you know.  About 20 yrs ago, the time became "right" for me again.  Ham radio ain't what it used to be, but it is still OK, on the whole.  Like internet forums, you kind of have to take the bitter with the sweet.  I enjoy it while it is fun, but if it stops being fun...there's always that "ON/OFF" button (again, like internet forums).
