Good evening Charles,

CS> I was talking to a fellow Sysop in another Echo aboutt Ham Radio. He
CS> told me a brief history about why it's called "Ham" Radio, I thought
CS> it was pretty interesting!

I've been a ham since 1951 and also read the description of the monicker
called Ham. It has been published by ARRL (American Radio Relay League)
and isn't very long.

CS> I'd like to hear some history and personal comments about it, I'm
CS> really curious!
CS> Regards,

I hope somebody has it somewhere, maybe it's even published in the bible
ARRL HANDBOOK. I'll look for it.

Whatever you do, never invite a jew to a Ham Dinner.


Have a good night,

Holger
