When this was originally posted, it was the Friday before Christmas vacation and nobody was thinking about work. Maybe you were stopping by RF Cafe to kill time until the boss let you go home (early, preferably). Not that you really have needed something to get you in a festive mood, but here are a few funny amateur radio-themed (aka Ham-themed) comics from a 1966 issue of Popular Electronics magazine, compliments of artist Buz Holland. When I saw the comic with the parrot squawking CQ while including his call sign - WA4YKK - my first thought was to check the FCC's Universal License System (ULS) to see to whom it belongs, and then I realized it was the artist's (though no longer assigned). My favorite, though, is the one with the guy taking the picture for putting on his QSL card.
Ham Comics: There's One in Every Crowd
By Buz Holland WA4YKK
"I'm studying this manual on transistors."
"Must be on the YL net again ... he never talks to me like that."
"CQ. CQ. CQ. CQ. CQ, WA4YKK. CQ. CQ, CQ, CQ. CQ, CQ, CQ, CQ, CQ ........"
"Move, Cathy. I'm taking a picture for my QSL card."
"And then she threw all my QSL cards into the fire."

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
