Greetings Michael..

I'm well aware of the history and use of the slogan "ham" but the
term previously used here was "Hammies." No where in those two links
do you see that term used - probably for good reason.

The 'good reason' may be that the OP doesn't seem to have a very good
grasp of the English language -- and sometimes he gets a little, shall
we say, creative; "raw" Amtor, "hammies" and a perpetual
misunderstanding of "to" vs. "too".

While Rod, AC6V puts a lot of work into his Web site,

This should be past tense, as AC6V has gone to the Big Hamfest
In the Sky. (I believe that a relative is currently maintaining the web
site).

I wouldn't take it as absolute gospel on every little detail.

Cheers, Mr. Mentor

True...because although there are -many- theories as to the origin of
the term 'ham', nothing has been proven to be definitive.
