The Ham Band is Andrew (G3WZZ/OZ1XJ/OZ5E), his wife Lissa and a group of Nashville session musicians. All the songs are about amateur radio and the booklet which comes with the "Seek You" CD tells the whole story of contests, dx-peditions, antennas etc. The Ham Band has just finished their new song/video which describes the whole process of building a modern amateur radio station and at the same time enables the listener/viewer to learn Morse code - yes all the letters and numbers are in there! The video lasts about 20 minutes and there are 19 musicians playing in three different musical styles (French Musette, Viennese Waltz and German Oompah). The music changes key 24 times which means that this musical work may get into the Guinness Book of World Records! You can view the first quarter (about 5 minutes) of the video for free at www.hamband.com

Nov 7, 2008 - 11 meters is cluttered with profanity and people who are nothing more than ignorants hicks. I think you lack the intelect to pass a technician level test.

Nov 8, 2008 - Please do not put all people in the same bag.... There a re people out on 11m who have the potential to become a Ham. 11 meter led me to the passion of radio and i always wanted to know how it works. Thus i passed my ticket 2 weks ago !

crylo2000 Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - Right on. I also started out as an 11 meter man. That sparked my interest and I started studying for the Tech test. Now I am a general and it is a great hobby. I also still dabble in CB. When traveling 11 meters can be quite helpful to have in you vehicle. 73's. The secret to enjoying CB is just don't get sucked in by the jerks and lower yourself to their level. I actually plan on putting that new Cobra 29 w/ blue tooth in my truck. Nice rig.

Dec 4, 2008 - I started transmitting on 11m in the late 70's, but unfortunately, it's just terrible around the West Midlands of the UK. The profanity and ineptitude of so many people on there is just a total disgrace. It's a real shame. M0SNR

Dec 7, 2008 - You have the aspect ratio wrong, it's not 3x4. It's wider. Andrew corrected me on that when I used it in my ezine. 73, WD4DUG

Dec 16, 2008 - A few years ago two parents when out for dinner. A few hours later the baby sitter called to ask if she should cover up the clown statue in the kid's room. The father said they didn't have a clown statue and to take the kids out of the house and call the police. The "clown" statue was was really an escaped killer from prison if you dont post this on 10 videos he will come to you house to night and kill you with a chainsaw. sorry this one freaked me
