> 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.
