L.M. Boyd Trivia

The Spokesman-Review

Q. Where’d amateur radio operators get the “ham” nickname?

A. From the initials of a magazine called “Home Amateur Mechanic.” It devoted an entire issue to radio assembly in 1912.

Q. Does any pair of swans ever get “divorced”?

A. Not if they breed successfully. And rarely even if they don’t. So report the keepers after many generations of scientific observation.
