How about amateur radio without the "radio?"

That's a telephone, isn't it?
And, "amateur radio" without the radio is just "amateur."
The funny thing is that in the sixties, there was an article
in "CQ" about DXing with a telephone. Showed photos of DXpeditions
in exotic places. I seem to recall there was a followup. I can't
remember if it was portrayed as an alternative, or what to do
after amateur radio was eliminated.
The punch line is that the article(s) were in the April issue.

Most of the April issues had a spoof article.
