You may not be too keen on the technical side of things now, but when you are putting up an antenna and need to calculate the length of and how many radials that you need to use, or decide whether to bury them or have them elevated close to the base of the antenna then having the understanding of radio theory is handy.

Even simple things like how to measure field strength or filtering noisy power supplies requires a degree of understanding of radio-electronic theory.
