I’ve noticed that radio can get really serious really quickly and while that’s great, a reminder every once and again that radio is _fun_ might be helpful.
Anyway we could get a forum category or daily feature for jokes, meme of the day, etc? I’ve seen a lot of hilarious stuff out there because hams really are funny. I could use a chuckle occasionally!

While we can all use a chuckle now and then, I’ve seen too many “humor” posts devolve into political memes and then you begin to alienate one side or the other, and now you need constant moderation of the forum. I’d prefer to keep the community chat more of a “help desk” and lessen the burden on Brad and Andy.

I hear that loud and clear for sure. Politics and humor are often one coin. 😂 What if we nominate you as the humor moderator to crush non-joke talk with impunity?

I agree with w7yby,
I don’t think a Meme/joke section would fit WRL.
Maybe a daily quiz or or question of the day?
How about everyone else?

The fact that this has gotten more interaction and responses than my post asking for real-world uses of APRS is the only humor I need for the rest of the year. I’m dying. 😂
I’ll be on the lookout for any radio-related humor and alert the bosses. 🫡
73 and I’ll be clear on the topic of radio humor.
