 That's how Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) -- who also happens to be W7EQI -- 
 tweeted the news to his "followers" today that he had been named 
 Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on 
 Communications and Technology. Among other things, the subcommittee's 
 responsibilities include oversight of the FCC.
 
 In a follow-up Twitter message, Walden explained that "The last tweet 
 was Morse code! Just the ham radio operator in me having fun. It says 
 I'll chair the communications and tech subcommittee." Walden is one 
 of two ham radio operators in Congress. The other is Rep. Mike Ross, 
 WD5DVR (D-AR).
 
 The full text of Walden'sTwitter message, for those who are not 
 Morse-conversant, is:
 "Will chair comm and tech sub 73s w7eqi"
 
 Walden is also chairman of the House Republican Leadership Committee 
 and the Republican Majority Transition Committee, which is overseeing 
 the transfer of power in the House of Representatives from the 
 Democratic Party to the Republican Party as a result of last month's
elections.
