  As you may know, there is so little to laugh at in the world nowadays.
But, even with ham radio, humor can be used on the air, and at eyeball
QSO's, to bring a good laugh.

  These are covered in the following items, over the month (Days 1-28),
and repost each month.

 1) 10 Commandments For Technicians (from N5HQ)

 2) Ham Radio Awards

 3) Rules Of Radio

 4) Brown Grass (from K5VPM, SK)

 5) CW Got The Job (from N4KG)

 6) DX Movies (from AC6V)

 7) Having A Ham As A Pet (from KK5AA)

 8) No Static About The Mess (seen at a ham radio club meeting)

 9) In Big Trouble (from W7YEN)

10) The Missing Q Signals (from W6ZO, W2AGN, K6DGW, K3HRN, W7RY, K5QLF)

11) Signs For The Shack

12) The Poor Ham

13) The Ham Snake

14) Sprays for the Ham Radio Shack

15) The Ham Pager

16) The Ham Radio Billboard

17) No New Rig

18) The Wishing Well

19-27) The Triple Play (3 parts)(from WX1DER)

A) The Ham Radio Wedding

B) The Honeymoon And More

C) Ham For The Holidays/The 12 Days Of Hamming

28) The New Kenwood Contesting Transceiver

  Note that many of these items are "tongue in cheek", and they don't
actually "exist". But, they are provided for a good laugh. Non-ham
radio operators may not understand all the humor, though. Also, some
of items 10 and 11 may not be suitable for "on the air"...but are good
for eyeball QSO's at hamfests, club meetings, etc.

  As a side note, the term "hi hi" is known as "the telegrapher's
laugh" (.... ..) -- and what hams usually say instead of "ha ha".

  Before reading some of these, or saying them on the air, you might
want to make a quick restroom trip, or pull off to the side of the
road. Otherwise, the resulting laughter may cause you to have a real
mess on your hands!!

  Lastly, I have given credit, where I knew the source. If you use
these on the air (some can't be, because of "content"), please give
credit to the proper source...whether it's to yours truly, or to
someone else.
