HI all:
After helping with set-up at Field Day, I am waiting for "my" shift (I
start when the mosquitoes comes out).....so I have some time to kill.
This topic sounded like the perfect opportunity to try www.googlefight.com
"Ham Radio" = 1, 240,000 hits
"Amateur Radio" = 1,300,000 hits
Hmmmm...so now what?
Ennui!

PS..in case anyone is interested, when I took my FCC tests, I had to
take the train to NYC and get on the 7th Ave IRT to the FCC building
and try to copy code on a desk that was older than dirt and had the
desktop pock-marked with the carved-out grooves from 10,000 previous
test-takers to prove it. My first xmtr was out of the 1964 ARRL
handbook (love "rescuing" those TV xmfrs with 1" long leads) and my
first "commerical" xmtr was a (very used) DX20. Even then, I thought
that "others" sort of laughed at the term "ham" radio. Same time
frame, different impressions.
