If I’ve met Everett Curry, it was only briefly, but I have a lot of respect for him and what he wants to do for the State of Oregon. Curry is running toward Salem to be a State Representative.

Curry seems like a good, honest man with morals. His campaign has been clean; I don’t even know who he is running against, which is evidence that Curry has run a positive campaign. Curry also seems like he is a hard worker, without personal agenda, just trying to do the right thing.

I’ve decided without any provocation or incentive to write this blog post. I’m doing so because I really like Curry. Please join me in voting Everett Curry for State Representative.

If you would like to learn more about Everett Curry, please visit his election website at www.VoteForCurry.org . Oh, and he is a ham radio operator, which I think is pretty cool.

I found this joke here:

Q: How do you greet a ham radio operator?

A. With a short wave.

ARRLWeb: The Special Events Communication Manual

This web page is a guide for using ham radio with special events. It should be very helpful for the BYUARC in planning for special events.

ARRL Radiogram - Audio file (Listen and Copy)
This site has audio of a sample radiogram message that can be used for practice of receiving a radiogram.

http://home.earthlink.net/~k7bfl/radinfo.html does a pretty good job at explaining ARRL radiograms, how to send them, what ARL codes are, priorities and wordcounts.

I just have one question, though. How are radiograms delivered? I mean, I know there isn’t a fixed method of delivery, but how are they typically delivered? Also, how much are radiograms used now days? Are they used mostly in emergencies, or is it a novelty?
