[Ham-Mac] Fwd: The "sport" of Ham Radio - SI Vault Article June 30, 1958

[Dick Kriss]

The following (kind of long) 1948 Sports Illustrated article called "The Battle Of The Hams" is a well written description of my interest in ham radio. The technology has changed but the passion described is still there.

> This is an absolutely wonderful article on the "sport" of ham radio (contesting), written 55 years ago from the "SI Vault" (Sports Illustrated). I have rarely read a better description of ham radio operation, such that even non-hams can easily understand our "passion" for the hobby, and I urge you to read it all the way through. Non-contesters might even get an idea of why we contesters love it so much.  I got excited just reading the article!
