Must have been a slow news day..

But I will say that this is a perfect example of all the three tier
scheme has done to amateur radio in this country. A Nuham surrounded by
retro equipment that he salivated over back in his CB days when he
couldn't get a licence, hooked up to an Antron 99 of course. The text
book usage of NATO phonetics (sic) and CB speak, "much qsb" not
forgetting of course a desk awash with morse keys as if this somehow
gives him credibility. You couldn't make it up.
