Ham Radio in Sci Am (admittedly OT)

[Edward A. Dauer]

I was interested to see in the February 2016 issue of Scientific American
a book review of “Contact Sport” by J. George.  The book is about the 2014
WRTC contest.  Nice to see that there is a book about it but even nicer to
see a review in Sci Am.  The book describes, according to the review, “the
surprisingly thrilling world of competitive ham radio.”  Useful for
showing to a spouse, to say that huddling with a K3 in the dark at 3:00 AM
a few times a year is not a singular mania.

I have read this and I feel the author did a good job of explaining an esoteric subset of our hobby for a "lay" audience.
