I'm a ham. smile

In 1994, there was one license that did not require knowledge of Morse Code. (I know. I got my No-Code Tech in 1994.) The tests are very simple, so there's no reason someone (Jimmy, Clark, Perry -- even Lois!) couldn't be a ham and it not have come up before.

Call signs are letters and numbers (mine is KE6MUV, for example). Whiskey Alpha Bravo means WAB, and would have to be the end of someone's call sign. Call signs begin with one or two letters, then the number, then 1, 2, or 3 numbers. The letters and numbers also indicate the area the license was obtained in. (My 6 is because I got my license in California; I'd guess New Troy would share the 2 with New York and New Jersey.)

Call Signs

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
