    From Daryl Stout@316:36/20 to All on Thu Mar 4 00:03:15 2021
    While this information is in the Ham Radio Information Door on
    The Thunderbolt BBS, I've decided to create monthly posts (days
    1-28) on various items of the amateur radio hobby. These posts will
    recycle each month, as I don't consider messages over 30 days old to
    still be "timely".

    Much of the data applies to amateur radio operators in the U.S.
    and its territories. If you live elsewhere, please check with your
    countries amateur radio organization or communications agency for
    more details. For the ham radio humor (items 15A through 15Q ), much
    of the info is "tongue in cheek"...and some, you may not want to use
    on the air.

    The topics will include:

    1) Interested In Ham Radio??
    2) Some Famous Hams
    3) W1AW Bulletin Information
    4) Expired Licenses During A Government Shutdown
    5) Amateur Radio License Question Pools
    6) Vanity Callsigns
    7) Ham Radio Classes And Exams (Comprehensive Bulletin)
    8) 10 Commandments For Technicians
    9) Patience During The Nets
    10) Third Party Traffic
    11) International Operations
    12) Reciprocal Operating Agreements
    13) APRS Information
    14) ARRL RadioGrams and Formal Written Traffic
