OK, I checked. Apparently this is not an April fool's article.

However, the operator uses an aircraft HF radio for his amateur
contacts. He does not put an amateur radio on the aircraft freqs,
which is the subject of this thread.

I do wonder what US Airways and the FAA think about a pilot engaging
in a hobby while flying an A330 full of passengers? Being distracted
while flying has been an issue:
