A somewhat serious, somewhat humorous, somewhat sarcastic look at the ARRL's QST "Hamspeak" column.

Of course AM'ers are excluded from any of the less than complimentary comments

Some very funny parts, but, there was (or were?) a lot of beeping noises 'messin up the audio.

Funny vid, Burt

You have good choice of pictures of the lady folk in your presentation.
I thought the 'present' was an Easter Egg,,,,but it was another substance............prolly some Ham's "LOAD"

Some more:

Gain: A commercial detergent, made by the same folks who make Tide and Cheer.
QST: Once a decent magazine, now sold for lining bird cages and training puppies.
CQ: (See QST.)
Linear (or leen-yar): A device used for amplifying and greatly widening signals, especially on the DX bands.
Field Day: An outdoor ham radio activity in which hams compete to see how much beer they can filter through their kidneys.
73: A now-extinct magazine that was once pretty good. It died when its publisher began writing long, rambling editorials about contacting the Ammonia People of Pluto on 902 MHz (or Mc).
Hertz: A car rental company.
Phone: Something in your neighbor's house that will reproduce your voice if you run more than 10 watts on 10 meters.

This reminds me a little of my infamous "Dorkspeak" posting, for which I was excoriated on this board...before one of the censors deleted it entirely.

"He said you were 5 and 9....what? you need some wine....No...I said you smell like a swine!....Ok Fine...thanks for the contact!...CQ contest CQ contest"
