2003 Amateur Radio Field Day

plcurechax writes "The 2003 ARRL Field Day is this weekend, June 28-29. Beginning 1800 UTC Saturday and ending at 2100 UTC Sunday. Originally started in 1933 as a test of portable amateur radio operating, it has become an annual event that is a mix of contest, emergency prepareness, and a public relations activity. Any geeks interested in learning more about amateur (ham) radio, should find out if there is a local club (in Canada)that will be particulating. Most clubs in USA and Canada will have a station on the air. Visitors welcome."

Who really gives a fuck about HAM radio anyway? Only people who live in their mom's basements, that's who!

"Who really gives a fuck about Linux anyway? Only people who live in their mom's basements, that's who!"

Sound familiar?

Particulating?

It's only a hobby, really there's no need to go falling to pieces!

I just hasn't been the same since they started selling pre-made capacitors. Hell, you can hardly find galena and cat's whiskers anymore! Why, in my day we didn't even have coaxial cable; you licked your fingers and stuck'em in the spark gap to make an antenna, and that's the way we liked it!

I guess my morse is off...
