I didn't know the term "honey-do ham" existed until seeing in
these newsgroups.


It was a term usually used in a pejorative manner to imply that the
licensees (often married couples) didn't get their licenses for the
'right' reasons and weren't 'real' Amateurs. My spouse got her
license in that era (early 90's) and even though she is a General and
we collaborate in many 'real' amateur activies like contesting (see
our two Divisional multi-op Championships in SS CW Iin 03 and 06 at
K0RT), one of our local 'influential' hams recently commented that she
got into Amateur Radio 'as one of those honey-do hams'.
