RE: [newbie] Hams on the list
Add another... I would say hams are drawn to Linux- it is a natural progression of the experimenter in us... Those of us who like to experiment with electronics (but don't have the time... :-) ) appreciate the "modular" nature of Unix, Linux, and NetWare and the ability to tinker with the OS. 73!

The hobby dates back to the early 1900s. To sum it up hams speak to each other via radio. In the early days it was done with morse code but even then with the crude equipment if the time communication over several thousand miles was possible in latter years voice communication was possible world wide, Yep world wide without wires or satilites. Today it has progressed to the point where there ar around 30 satilites carrying ham radio transponders, some of us also send video back and forth via the airwaves, there is a thing called packet radio that is kind of like the internet but it is all done over the airwaves without wires or a ISP, and some of us even bounce signals off of the moon. In recent years about half of the space shuttles have carried ham radio equipment and had at least 1 ham on board. The mir space station also carried hams and ham radio equipment and made thousands of contacts with amateur radio operaters around the world. Hams also gennerally supply communications into disaster areas, and allow people in the millitary to sort of phone home via Mars ( millitary amateur radio service ) This is just a VERY BREIF overview. for more detailed information go to http://www.arrl.com Hope this gave you enough information to make some sense of it all.
