SOC is the acronym for the "Second Class Operators' Club," where
"competence is tolerated but not encouraged." <www.qsl.net/soc/> You
can join and receive many good things, such as a number that you can do
many things with. Well, actually ... a number is all you get, and you
can't do anything with it except send it to someone else who probably
doesn't care and will miscopy it anyway. There are no dues. This is
primarily because no one who wants to be a member has been found who can
serve in the role of Treasurer ... or who can count well for that
matter. SOC members tend to bust their own calls in contests -- at
least those who can tell time and actually get IN the contest do. Hope
this helps.

SOC #633 (or maybe 366 or possibly 636, or maybe 11115 [which may or may
not be my FISTS number])
