That is an interesting fact to know that there is a patron saint of
amateur radio.  I am not Catholic but am familiar with patron saints
though my Army service, specifically Saint George, the patron saint of
the Army, and Saint Barbara, the patron saint of field artillerymen who
is venerated with Army redlegs.
