E1698: Ham Radio's Biggest Problem Right Now

E1698: Ham Radio's Biggest Problem Right Now

Is Ham radio truly welcoming to newcomers and fresh ideas, or does gatekeeping and resistance to change hold the hobby back? In this video, we dive deep into the real experiences of new hams in 2026—exploring everything from friendly "Elmer" mentors who guide beginners, to stories of grumpy old-timers, club snobbery, and unwelcoming attitudes on repeaters and forums.

Whether you're thinking about getting your Technician license, already a new ham feeling intimidated, or a longtime operator wondering how to make the hobby more inclusive—this honest discussion uncovers the good, the bad, and the hopeful side of amateur radio today. If you're new to ham radio, curious about the community drama, or passionate about keeping the hobby alive for future generations, hit play and join the conversation!
