I have a turkey ham sandwich in my hand at the moment.

Enjoy! :-)

Everyone else ought to remember the definition of ham: "Ham is
the butchered meat of swine."

There...now THAT's a troll! :-)

It surely is. E-Look provides the following definitions:

1. [noun] meat cut from the thigh of a hog (usually smoked)
Synonyms: jambon, gammon

2. [noun] (Old Testament) son of Noah
Synonyms: Ham

3. [noun] a licensed amateur radio operator

In an amateur radio newsgroup, which definition might be used?

ALL of them. :-)

In THIS newsgroup though, at least two more definitions
would ALSO apply. [hint: look in your mirror for them]


No fair asking for assistance!

Not even the ARRL? Tsk, tsk, the ARRL already defined "ham"
for amateur radio operators. It was a PEJORATIVE term
applied by professional radiotelegraphers on amateurs. Look
it up on their website. :-)


Superfluous newsgroups trimmed.

What?!? You don't want to BROADCAST your vital, important,
items of YOUR "definitions" (cribbed from a web page instead
of being printed by real ink on real paper in a book) ? :-)


As always to you, ByteBrothers famous phrase invoked!
