BY DANIELLE DELISLE [email protected] Imagine being able to turn a dial and talk to people from all over the world, sometimes at the same time. Someone might argue that the Internet can do that and that even young children are instant messaging their friends, but Gilford resident Bob Carollo says it’s much more fun on the radio. “I started at about 8 or 9 years old,” recalls Carollo. “My uncle lived with us and he had a ham radio. When he went to Vietnam he left it for me to play with, without the microphone of course. I would just sit there and lis- ten. I was hooked.” Though he didn’t get his license until much later in life Carollo said he was al- ways interested in ham ra- dio but life family and chil- dren prevented him from pursuing the hobby until 2002 when he moved to Gil- ford. Shortly after setting up his radio equipment he met members of the Central New Hampshire Amateur Radio Club. The club, as the name sug- gest, is for amateur radio op- erators to get together and have a place to commiserate. They set up field days where members of the club will take their antennas and ra- dios out into a field and set them up and hold contests. The object of these contests PHOTO BY DANIELLE DELISLE is to work as many radio Gilford resident Bob Carollo sits at his friend and fellow radio operator Jack Barbara’s radio set-up while he reaches out and contacts another operator in Cuba. channels as possible. “It’s not just the contests,” ham radio operation makes titions.

A4 THE GILFORD STEAMER OPINION APRIL 24, 2008 EDITORIAL ● Lost minutes? Sort of As a weekly paper, we’re often one step behind in our coverage of news stories, but every once in a while it’s fun to read what the dailies have come up with while we’re toiling away on next week’s paper. This week, for example, we got to sit back and laugh as we watched one daily pa- per respond to another daily’s news story with a story of its own.
