I remember once there was a running list of Famous Ham's QRZ posters could think of. #Here is an exhaustive list.

That's scary. A member of "In fart" (long story short, a swedish restaraunt was named that) is a ham??!!
Did not read the list, but a ham probably on there has some real music.

How about Joe Walsh WB6ACU. Lead guitarist for the James Gang (Funk 49, Walk Away), Eagles (Victim of Love, Hotel California, Life in the Fast Lane, What Kind of Love Have You Got, ), and an awesome solo career (Rocky Mountain Way, All Night Long, Life's Been Good to Me So Far)... just to name a few.

The list MUST be accurate, since I am not on it----
OTOH, the "sprial cut" ham was omitted. Bummer.

Not a very accurate list, apparently. The "Bill Clinton" on the list is some guy in FL with middle initial of H.
Didn't do an exhaustive check; that one was enuff.

Albert, perhaps you missed the description under that particular heading? They clearly note that that particular list is just famous names not the actual person. All the other headings I believe are correct.
FAMOUS NAMES
THE NAME OF THE LISTED AMATEUR IS THE NAME ONLY OF A WELL KNOWN PERSONALITY (NOT THE ACTUAL PERSONALITY)

Hi guys,
One thing the list doesn't mention is that "band member" James "Ed" Boulton WA3PUN was "Andy" of the Amos 'n Andy radio show. For a time he had revived the show from the original scripts (the show was never recorded) and it was performed live on WBCQ 7415 on your 40M dial. He's alive and well operating AM on 75M from Harrisburg PA and puts in a FB signal here in NJ.
Speaking of Joe "Eagle" Walsh formerly of the James Gang, you should see his house in Studio City CA filled with Collins! He is now the proud owner of an accessory donated to the cause by Jim W2RXR who had the distiction of having several nice telephone conversations with him.
One thing I didn't see on the list unless I missed it was the Andy Devine memorial station still active from his ranch in California.
