If there’s a bigger mismatch than between Shakespeare and amateur radio, then I don’t know about it. Even so, some fine fellow (I was unable to divine either this fellow’s name or callsign) has translated Shakespeare’s sonnets into Morse Code. There are versions at 7 wpm, 13 wpm, and 20 wpm for each of the [...]

Band Plans for 900 MHz and [...]

For example, Will Shortz, the puzzle master gave the clue: “What is a good material for electrical conductor”?

This story is from Lloyd, K3ESE, via the qrp-l.org mailing list:
I haven’t been on the air much of late; busy sailing my little sloop, playing the viola I bought with the proceeds of most of my ham-pelf, parenting my three lively and lovely children, fishing, doing yardwork, doing work-work…you get the picture.
But this past FD, [...]
