Jack, it's not so much a matter of WBAI station management as it is about the right-wing Supreme Court. Anybody would pick up the challenge over the censorship of this important work, but the likelihood of prevailing over the high court once the case made it up there is pretty small. We've been let down by congress in their confirmation of enough dingbat neocon judges to keep America moving safely backward for the next twenty or thirty years. Nice work, people.

I got a Ham license in 1989 and still hold Advanced ticket KD1AV. I had a lot of fun with it when I was active, making contacts all around the world in CW (continuous wave, aka Morse Code) and voice, using 100 watts fed into a wire antenna. My favorite way to operate was QRP, which means low power, generally less than three watts. I spent one summer in a cabin in the Cape Cod woods, making dozens of contacts in the US and Europe with 100 feet of #28 magnet wire tossed up into the tallest pine tree I could find, and my trusty Heathkit HW-8. Yes it sounds corny, but it was before the heyday of the Internet, and I had put the whole thing together myself, so there was a lot of satisfaction to go along with the joy of talking to Marco in Italy or something. And the QSL cards were the icing on the cake. QSL is Q-code for "I am receiving you", and they are traded by all types of radio enthusiasts, including shortwave listeners and people who listen for domestic broadcasts long distance. Computers soon took over my need for things electronic, but I did have a lot of fun as a Ham.
