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")." +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: File_Wb6acu.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11936| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88037 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
