[Elecraft] Is ham radio a sport ??

[Terry Schieler]

Regardless of your definition of "sport", this is one of the best articles I've seen (especially from 1958) that explains in layman's terms, the idiosyncrasies of our fine hobby and the hobby-within-a-hobby that is DX contesting.  It was a very enjoyable read and I've shared it with others.  

(Wayne's totally accurate "desoldering" article is a very close second!)

Thank you, Paul.  (You too Wayne)

73,

The link is to a 1958 Sports Illustrated article, about Ham Radio being a sport. If you have seen it before, sorry for the bandwidth, but I found it interesting reading, maybe some others will also...
