Hi, What is the derivation of the term "slim"? The context is usually "pirate" or "fake" but it isn't immediately obvious what "slim" denotes. Is it one of those things that nobody remembers, like "lid" or "Ham" itself? Jeff/KD4RBG On Wednesday 13 June 2007 15:31, Ed Swiderski, KU4BP wrote: > Time was 0138z. The slim was running CW at that time. This was on phone.
