There once was a Mormon named Jim
At Mountain Meadows, fired a Maxim
It was a really bad day
With all that gunplay
And it wasn't all done on a whim.

By the way Els, I am a licensed Ham Radio operator. Hiram S Maxim, the inventor of the machine gun, had a son named Hiram P Maxim, who was the very first Ham Radio operator in the U.S. 😱

oh yes, you are down 3 to 0 now, do get cracking and catch up. 😂

I am a licensed Ham Radio operator.

For how long?

Back in the day, I thought about it, but the code requirement was to me; STUPID!

NO one was clicking anything but their lips at the time, an was deemed by me to be an anachronism that I didn't need or want to learn.

Heck; I even wrote a Morse Code program in assembly language on a development kit (MC6800) that would do the work for me.

Does ANYONE today even know what a resistor is?

Ya go to the store and buy you some Japanese transceiver and jabber away!

Does Dayton still have a Hamfest in the Spring anymore??
