Many thanks to the Southgate ARC for bringing this to my attention:
The Roanoke Times reports that radio hams were among those attending a bacon festival
The newspaper says hams from the Roanoke Valley Amateur Radio Club, W4CA, showed up.
“It’s the ham club at the bacon festival,” club member Jim Martin AK4LB explained.

Well, sort of…
With this clock, from DCI, you can read the time in Morse code.
Not a bad deal at $27 US on Amazon.com.
My guess? There must be a ham in the marketing department at Velveeta:
Last night, I captured the pirate radio station Dit Dah Radio on 6,935 kHz (+/-) USB. I published the audio on my shortwave radio blog, The SWLing Post, where I post quite a lot of shortwave radio recordings.
I’m well aware that no law-abiding ham radio operator would ever broadcast as a pirate radio station. So this must be a non-ham, right? (OK, fess up!!! Who was it???)
You’ll especially like their CW preamble (or, interval signal, I suppose) which they follow with The Capris’ 1960’s hit, Morse Code of Love. Click here to download, or listen in the embedded player below:
