I am looking for ideas for new polls at HamPoll.Com (http://www.hampoll.com) and am hoping that readers here will suggest a few of them.

On the other hand, I'd also enjoy some humour along these lines. - Fun poll ideas. No need to say whether your suggestion is serious or just for fun... Let us all guess! #http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Here's the basic format I'm looking for:

Poll Question: #- Should be as short, clear and to the point as possible.

Poll options: - Should be less than 15 options in all cases, preferably less than ten.

Here's an example:
----------------------------------------
Favorite CW keying method:

* #Straight key
* #Bug
* #Antique
* #Military
* #Homebrew
* #Memory
* #Iambic
* #Keyboard
* #Laser

----------------------------------------

Any ideas I can shamelessly plagiarize? #Thank you!

No, I tended to watch the same ones, every time. I don't know much about what was on the other channels.

I forgot to mention that the polls need to be ham radio related, especially the funny ones.

The first one is my personal favorite, but all of them are good. Thank you for taking time to do this!
