No, no ham radio reference, I've been asked that before.
I just pulled the name out of the air one night when I finally decided to join Voat.
No reference to the big bopper either.
I did once spend almost an hour privately with Willie Nelson trying to sell him some pretty bad country songs I wrote.
He was quite nice.
It's an old Air Force term for Morse Code Interceptors and a lot of ham radio operators have that as a background.
They're called "ditty boppers". Or at least they were historically called that. I've no idea about the current nomenclature.
Ah, yeah, that's what I was asked..
I forget why they call 'em that. I suspect a search engine knows, but I am pretty lazy today.
I'm on vacation.
