Shopping For Your Ham Hubby For Christmas

Guest Post By an XYL

Getting your ham husband (or boyfriend, father, etc) a ham radio-related Christmas gift is challenging. Don't try to buy him a radio - half of their fun they have with the hobby is researching radios to buy. Instead, get him a amateur radio related gift that he would never buy for himself.

You know, most hams were nerds growing up. There are exceptions but have you ever seen so many pocket protectors in one place that you see at ham fests? Granted, former nerds make great husbands but they always remember not being especially popular with girls.

There's a great T-shirt on Amazon that says "HAM radio operators do it with greater frequency". It's under $20 and available in lots of colors. You can buy it here directly from Amazon. Let him know you think he's sexy and I promise you, he'll wear it to every ham fest.
