Another person here, I was born 1982, and definitely know what ham radio is and have used such equipment. But I had a pretty nerdy grandfather who infected me with his tech curiosity and introduced me to it. Sometimes I still break out a little shortwave radio with SSB and hook it up to my laptop to see everyone’s messages flying back and forth. I like to screw around with SDRs too (and of course I own a Flipper Zero 😉).
My 12 year old son knows next to nothing about it.
