I fire my stuff up occasionally, but not that often (once a year!).
Yep, Joe Walsh is a big time ham radio guy. From the wiki: "Walsh holds
an Extra Class Amateur Radio License. His station callsign is
WB6ACU.[10] In 2006 he donated an autographed guitar to the ARRL in
Newington, Connecticut for its charity auction. He has also been
involved with the group's "Big Project," which brings amateur radio
into schools. Walsh has included Morse Code messages in his albums on
two occasions: once on the album Barnstorm ("Register and Vote"), and
later on Songs for a Dying Planet ("Register and Vote for Me")."
