[Fists] ARRL: Hams say "Hello"

Most folks will be able to click this, AOL (always the exception, never the 
"rule") will have to copy and paste into their browser...)

Hey, "Now You're Talking" - no morse code required!  I didn't see where it 
says that "hams don't use CQ" - it talks about "hello" as being the first 
word spoken over radio...

Reginald Fessenden transmitted from Brant Rock, Massachusetts (about a 
quarter mile from this station) the very first CW signals and the very first 
voice signals over radio in 1905 - one hundred years ago this year.  First 
word:  "Hello!"  Previous transmissions of Morse were done by Spark, not CW 
like Fessenden used.

Next we will have N.T.I. - No Test International.

Why have a test when all you need to do is talk?
