PITTSBURG — They are often referred to as hams, but most like be preferred to as radio operators. At least, that’s what Southeast Kansas Amateur Radio Club member Steve Tandy said during a breakfast meeting at Otto’s Cafe on Wednesday. There is some debate on why radio operators often called hams. “I heard a story about it coming from guys on the radio ‘hamming it up,'” possibly of why people call amatuer radio operators hams today, he said. SEKARC meets at Otto’s every week to discuss all things radio, and then some. They bring in various gadgets and parts from the past, as well as new gear. The club itself has only been around for a few years. It stemmed off another group which has been around for decades. Over 50 people are in the group, many are connected with other radio clubs across Kansas and Missouri.
