[bars] The Eagles

[geoffreyf at comcast.net]

Who doesn't?   Almost everyone knows his professional career as a musician and most Amateurs who pay attention to history of the hobby know his call sign and actually very intense activity as a ham operator.

I recommend the nightly quizzes offered on QRZ.com.  You will learn of him and many other celebrity amateurs, as well as others who have contributed to the radio arts, where amateur radio has played a role in film and TV too along with much else some of which can inspire further research.  Hiram Percy Maxim wrote two books of his life which inspired a feature film called, "A genius in the family".

How many of you know crazy Joe Walsh, 77 yrs old and 50th best guitarist in the world according to Rolling Stones top 100 list, and a long time member of The Eagles, is also an Amateur Extra holder and avid HAM radio enthusiast? I found out yesterday. That is very cool. His call sign is WB6ACU.
