John. I have only been licensed since 1993, but STILL receive weird looks from my wife when, as I work an FM bird from my back yard in Riverside, CA, as I exclaim, "Karen, I'm working Canada!!!"
To ME, it's a ham contact at a Watt or two ... to my beloved wife, jokingly, a situation of "Clint, anything wrong with your cell phone - which calls the planet no problem ..."
(In all honesty, my wife is much more knowledgable than that ... she only "fakes" being surprised by what ham FM sats accomplish."
And so it goes ...
