You are a Redneck Ham Operator if...
-   One leg of your dipole is tied to the outhouse.
 -   Needle nose pliers are needed to turn your transceiver on and off.
 -   You paid more for your mobile antenna than you did for your wife's wedding ring.
 -   You paused for ID every ten minutes while on your honeymoon.
 -   Your spouse says "Honey do you love me?" And your response is ROGER ROGER
ROGER!
 -  Your trailer home is part of your antenna.
 -   Your mobile radio costs more than the vehicle it's mounted in.
 -   Your power supply consists of jumper cables hanging out the window of your
shack attached to the battery of your truck.
 -   Your HF rig is the latest ICOM or KENWOOD and your Desk Mic came from Radio
Shack.
 -   Your idea of RF is REAL FINE audio.
 -   Your homebrew amplifier resembles a moonshine whiskey still in Alabama.
 -   Your TV antenna and 10 Meter Beam are one in the same.
 -   You own a linear amplifier but not a lawn mower.
