Hey Hungry Howie's, at least pick the right props for your bad puns.

Hungry Howie's makes fun of ham radio 
with a CB.

A recent commercial for Hungry Howie's pizza includes a reference to ham radio.

1. That's not a ham radio, it's a CB, probably a Cobra 29 LTD Classic, but of course, there's no "CB" topping for pizza, so Howie had to stretch the pun.
2. So why not show a real ham radio?
3. The commercial is mildly insulting, since ham radio has very active (if small) community, and isn't in the same class as rotary phones and fax machines.

BTW, if you're interested, Morse Code was still a requirement for a FCC Technician license up until 1991, and there are some operators today who use a telegraph key on special bands reserved for that use (see "dash dash pizza" reference in the video).

73, Howie

Or should I say, "10-10, good buddy."
