[Elecraft] Hate the word "ham"

I certainly agree with Jozef.  There is something called tradition.  We are
"hams," and should be proud of that title.  It took much effort in days
past, unlike today.  When I recieved my Extra class license it meant
something other than the fact of successfully memorizing some answers.  We
now have Extra class "operators."  The FCC changed "ham radio" in order to
get more numbers.  Never mind quality, let's have numbers.  Never mind the
traditions.  By the way I do remember my Elmer from 1956. Mike K4ELV
