					--- Treasurer Trivia ---


Why Do They Call It "HAM" Radio?

1. Three radio pioneers had initials H, A, and M.
2. The term was similar to "lid", a pejorative used by old-time telegraphers referencing "ham-handed" keying.
3. It was a jab at operators trying to be funny on the air like "he's such a ham".
4. It came from "hamming codes" used during WW II.






1 or 2 can be considered correct. 

An interesting 8-minute video can explain further.
