Re: Honorary Radioist
Thanks, all.
I guess I'd go with "Honored Broadcaster". Not really "Radio Operator", as it is a civilian not military badge. |

Re: Honorary Radioist
As for me, "Radio Operator" is much better translation of the meaning of this badge than "Honored Broadcaster".

Re: Honorary Radioist
In civilian terms, Radist - Радйст - can also be translated as Radiotelegraphist... Radio Operator seems Ok to me in the military world...

Re: Honorary Radioist
Guys,
Many civilians were building and operating radio apparatus in the FSU. Most of them were civilians, and a non-negligible part of which were youngsters. I personally do not see any military connotation to the term "Radio Operator". IMHO, it simply means the very obvious, someone who uses radio equipment, whether civilian or military. Marc |
