[SOC] MORE PUZZLES:

[Ian C. Purdie]

Well the olden day QRP-L list was populated with some of the smartest 
cats around in both electronics as well as amateur radio.

Scientists galore. For some strange reason most navigators aboard 
nuclear submarines were also hams, who later became scientists.

I joined the olden day QRP-L list about 20 years and my [lifetime] 
membership number is #1978.

Flying Pigs [FPQRP] and Second Class Operators [SOC] are both offshoots 
of the original QRP-L.

Second Class Operators [SOC] came about when we heard of a "First Class 
Operators Group". Unfortunately membership was by invitation only, 
suitably miffed certain personages established the Second Class 
Operators [SOC] group, and lacking class misspelt the acronym...

Other groups such as Glowbugs devoted to vintage valve [tube] radio 
technology share many common members, hence sometimes cross posting.


Thanks! :) 72/73's
