Hello Jimmy,

HG> OK first, please tell me what you put into the expression "HAM" that
HG> you use so frequently.

JA> Amatuer Radio - be it the user, the equipment, whatever.

JA> use HAM and have family far off. If a disaster hit and they needed

HG> 'Use HAM', what is that??

JA> Use a amateur radio - that better?

JA> through the HAM, through the radio network to a place that DOES have
JA> Internet service, then be delivered to their family in Chicago.

HG> And again, what does 'through the HAM' mean?

JA> Via the radio waves that amatuer operators use.

Thank you for the explanations.

I am a licensed radio amateur (= a HAM) since 65 years back, and have
read, mostly american litterature, about amateur radio (= ham radio),
since maybe 1946.

So far I have never heard/read, anybody using the term HAM, as loosely
as you do. That's why I had to ask.


CU L8ER,

Holger
