Tod Olson, K0TO, recently sent the following. I thoroughly subscribe to the
stated sentiment.

Quote:

Some years [actually decades] ago in an ARRL Directors' discussion there was
a 'debate' about what should be the definition of "A Real Ham". Skipping
over the several thousand words of Director opinion to the final consensus
decision.

" A 'Real Ham' is someone who thinks that they are. "

The point was that a "Real Ham" would find that their personal identity was
such that when they thought of themselves and their characteristics, the
fact that they were an radio amateur would always be a significant part of
the total.
