Found in what
is the first issue of Electronics Illustrated magazine that I have
bought are these Amateur radio related comics entitled, "Over and Out." The
cartoonist's signature is simply "Rodrigues," which according to a Google search
might be Charles
Rodrigues (who also contributed to other tech magazines as well as to
National Lampoon). I have to admit to needing to look up the "Yanqui
aggressors" thing on the one comic, and then it made sense: Yanqui= Yankee. The
last comic with the parrot is pretty funny; it's sort of the Ham radio
equivalent to an auto-repeat telephone dialer like what you would use to call
into a radio show during a listener contest.
