   WAC   
   "Worked All Continents"; an award issued to those who make, and have   
   proof of, contact to at least one ham on each continent.   
      
   Wallpaper   
   Slang for QSL Cards and operating/contest certificates.   
      
   WAN   
   "Worked All Neighbors"; a station that continually gets complaints about   
   signals showing up on the telephone or televisions at neighbor's houses.   
   Not a desired situation. Polite conversation and changes in operation   
   practices are a common solution. Another is providing simple and often   
   inexpensive filters for the offended neighbor. See the TVI solutions page   
   at the ARRL web site for more information on cures (courtesy of K4GVN).   
      
   WARC   
   "World Administrative Radio Conference"; most commonly associated with the   
   "WARC Bands", those bands added to the Amateur Radio band plan which   
   include the 30, 17, and 12 meter HF bands.   
      
   WAS   
   "Worked All States"; an award issued to those who make, and have proof of,   
   contact to at least one ham in each U.S. state.   
      
   Weather Alert   
   NOAA broadcast station transmitting alert signals. Found from 162.40 to   
   162.55 Mhz on the public service band. Also see NOAA Weather Radio.

   WOLF   
   "Weak-signal Operation on Low Frequency" - for more information, see   
   http://www.computerpro.com/~lyle/wolf/wolf4dummies.htm (courtesy of K0LR).   
      
   Wouff Hong   
   An instrument of sadistic torture for hams who do not follow generally   
   accepted rules of courtesy on the air. It looks something akin to a   
   Saguaro cactus with one arm missing (courtesy of AA7VP). The Wouff Hong   
   actually sprang from the imagination of ARRL cofounder Hiram Percy   
   Maxim, W1AW, as a means to combat poor operating. The "initiation   
   ceremony" is usually held at an ARRL Section, State, or Division   
   Convention, at the discretion of event organizers. You MUST be an ARRL   
   member to participate in this fun group; of which the ceremony is TOP   
   SECRET...however, participants do receive a nice certificate.
