Re: <nettime> Derivation of "Bug," telegraphy code, etc. |
Interesting note on the origins of the ham in ham radio. Might that also be the origin of ham-handed? Used to be you had to pass a Morse Code test to get an amateur license. Maybe some were ham-handed at keying their code. I looked online but got no support for this idea.
