[The book] situates radio hobbyists not only in the technological realm but within the worlds of work and home, as consumers and as contributors to civil defense." - Michele Hilmes, The Wilson Quarterly, "Haring provides a fascinating interpretation of ham radio as 'a socially sanctionedescape' for men within the home." Douglas Craig Technology andCulture, "Haring provides a fascinating interpretation of ham radio as 'a socially sanctioned escape' for men within the home." Douglas Craig Technology and Culture, Haring provides a fascinating interpretation of ham radio as 'a socially sanctioned escape' for men within the home., " Although approximately one million Americans operated ham radios in the course of the 20th century, very little has been written about this thriving technical culture in our midst. Kristen Haring offers a deeply sympathetic history of this under-appreciated technical community and their role in contributing to American advances in science and technology, especially the electronics industry. In the process she reveals how technical tinkering has defined manhood in the United States and has powerfully constituted 'technical identities' with often utopian, even, at times, revolutionary, notions about the social uses of technology." --Susan Douglas, Catherine Neafie Kellogg Professor of Communication Studies, University of Michigan, and author of "Listening In: Radio and the American Imagination", With its detailed and interesting analysis of the interaction between technical cultures and technical identities, [this book] makes an important contribution to technology studies.

Hilary Geoghegan Cultural Geographies, "Haring's book is a nuanced and elegantly written cultural history that throws new light on the complex relations among masculinity, domesticity, emotional connection to technology, and American technical culture." --Donald MacKenzie, School of Social and Political Studies, University of Edinburgh, "Chapters dealing with the historical relationships between manufacturers of radioequipment and amateurs (in which Haring includes an examination of the significance of the kitbuilding phenomenon upon the development of Amateur Radio); the role played by amateurs withintechnical professions in what Haring calls a 'complicated hybrid identity' that pitted professionalaffiliation against amateur individualism; and the ways in which Amateur Radio fought for andpreserved its place in American society during the Cold War and Vietnamall are well worth thereading for the fascinating historical picture they present."

Synopsis
A history of ham radio culture: how ham radio enthusiasts formed identity and community through their technical hobby, from the 1930s through the Cold War., Decades before the Internet, ham radio provided instantaneous, global, person-to-person communication. Hundreds of thousands of amateur radio operators -- a predominantly male, middle- and upper-class group known as "hams" -- built and operated two-way radios for recreation in mid twentieth century America. In Ham Radio's Technical Culture , Kristen Haring examines why so many men adopted the technical hobby of ham radio from the 1930s through 1970s and how the pastime helped them form identity and community. Ham radio required solitary tinkering with sophisticated electronics equipment, often isolated from domestic activities in a "radio shack," yet the hobby thrived on fraternal interaction. Conversations on the air grew into friendships, and hams gathered in clubs or met informally for "eyeball contacts." Within this community, hobbyists developed distinct values and practices with regard to radio, creating a particular "technical culture." Outsiders viewed amateur radio operators with a mixture of awe and suspicion, impressed by hams' mastery of powerful technology but uneasy about their contact with foreigners, especially during periods of political tension. Drawing on a wealth of personal accounts found in radio magazines and newsletters and from technical manuals, trade journals, and government documents, Haring describes how ham radio culture rippled through hobbyists' lives. She explains why hi-tech employers recruited hams and why electronics manufacturers catered to these specialty customers. She discusses hams' position within the military and civil defense during World War II and the Cold War as well as the effect of the hobby on family dynamics. By considering ham radio in the context of other technical hobbies -- model building, photography, high-fidelity audio, and similar leisure pursuits -- Haring highlights the shared experiences of technical hobbyists. She shows that tinkerers influenced attitudes toward technology beyond hobby communities, enriching the general technical culture by posing a vital counterpoint.
