[R-390] CW/SMS Battle on Tonight Show Friday 13th! - link

[John KA1XC]

Here's a link to a wmv vid of the event, do a right click and save it to the 
HD, and THEN play it.

It was pretty cool but I'm really glad one of the hams spoke up and blurted 
that it was Ham Radio that he was involved with, other wise there was no 
mention. Personally I thought the old time telegraphers outfits were kind of 
dorky, I think when the public sees this it reinforces the image of  us 
being very eccentric. Oh well!
