This Day in History

1909
Einar Dessau of Denmark used a shortwave transmitter to converse with a government radio post about six miles away in what's believed to have been the first broadcast by a "ham" operator. During the several minute long exchange, the 37 year old Dessau spoke mostly of his mother and how unfair it was for her to impose a curfew and to not allow him to hang his posters in the basement.

Hey! Mother says ham radio operators are cool…
oh.
1974
Most of the Arab oil-producing nations ended their embargo against the United States. Coinciding with that announcement, GM introduced the Buick ENORMO, a 26-foot-long luxury cruiser made with the melted down bodies of 11 AMC Gremlins.
