   That is an interesting fact to know that there is a patron saint of   
   amateur radio.  I am not Catholic but am familiar with patron saints   
   though my Army service, specifically Saint George, the patron saint of   
   the Army, and Saint Barbara, the patron saint of field artillerymen who   
   is venerated with Army redlegs.
