edit- ^ Deutscher Amateur-Radio-Club (2008) The name "old man" is a term of respect by which ham operators call each other, especially if they have not had the opportunity to exchange their first names during a radio contact. It derives from the British English expression "old man" or "old boy", by which Englishmen tend to call each other. "USKA-Hamfest 2007: Amateurfunk im Wandel". Retrieved 1 August 2008.
