    Hi VinylTed, No I don't think Amateur Radio is a little redundant as there are many things You can do, and Yes You need to do those things Yourself... like making antennas, connecting them all up, etc... I have 3 computers etc but I still love My Ham Radio... My Beetle is a semi Automatic with NO clutch pedal...& its all been stripped down years ago and put back together... by Me... 68autobug VK2LEE Lee
