[Elecraft] OT: Hate the word "ham"

[Ken Kopp]

Hard to say which "name" carries the most negative implications
to the public ... "ham" or "amateur" - but I'd expect "ham" is the most
negative.

Yes -WE- think of "ham" fondly, but to someone who knows little
or nothing about the hobby it means something "less than good".
Perhaps the best we can do is "Ham radio operator", but NEVER
Ham operator!
