Hi Hi - A Collection of Ham Radio Cartoons
Dick Sylvan, W9CBT, Pens Big Book of Amateur Radio Laughs
60-Years of Radio Laughs Under One Cover!
Hi Hi-Ham on Wry. Bouncing off the E-layer and spiraling out of the pen of
veteran Amateur Radio operator Dick Sylvan, W9CBT, Hi Hi provides solid 5
and 9 laughter. Drawing on nearly six decades of on-air adventures, Dick
offers an insider's view of the bliss and twists of Ham Radio. Hi Hi makes a
great gift for any Ham-to give or get. Each of the book's three sections:
Ham Lingo, Ham Quips and Morse Quips & Tips, looks Ham Radio square in the
eye and finds it-hilarious-and so will you. So, drop that key, put down that
microphone, stow that keyboard and order your copy of Hi Hi- A Collection of
Ham Radio Cartoons.
Available at www.k9ya.org/w9cbt, this collection of Dick's cartoons includes
and greatly expands his body of work originally published in the K9YA
Telegraph, a monthly, general interest, Amateur Radio e-Zine.
Now in his seventh decade of Hamming, Dick retains all the enthusiasm for
the service that originally brought him into the fold. He is an avid and
skilled operator who works several modes, both QRO and QRP, and still finds
the time to pursue his profession as industrial designer, write articles and
create cartoons for the K9YA Telegraph.
Each month Dick's work wins accolades from Amateur Radio operators
subscribed from more than 90 countries. His fan letters greatly exceed the
praise for all other features combined. On occasion, his well-conceived
fantasy contraptions have garnered serious queries as to their availability,
price and shipping time!
Influenced by the gadget-filled and hilariously skewed world of legendary
cartoonist Rube Goldberg, Dick brings that visionary's spirit to Ham Radio.
Hi Hi delightfully and whimsically captures the special brand of humor Ham
Radio has generated over its 100-year history.
