   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,
