When created by Motorola in 1977, at the height of CB radio use, the day's goal was to call the public's attention "to the importance of CBers and CB radio to the nation's communications capabilities." Although the day may now seem antiquated because of the rise of cellular phones, the internet, and other technologies, we still use it to celebrate the code, radio operators, and CB radios! Ten-four (10-4) is an affirmative expression used in radio communications that translates to "message received," "you got it," or "OK." It is one of the ten-codes, which were created by Illinois State Police Communications Director Charles Hopper between 1937 and 1940. They were put out by the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International (APCO) to be used in radio communication between police officers. Updated and expanded a few times since their creation, they are a type of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brevity_code']brevity code[/URL] and represent common phrases.[/SIZE][/FONT][/I] [B][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)][FONT=verdana][SIZE=7]SU News[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [I][SIZE=3][IMG]https://www.syracuse.com/resizer/iwytgqrX6piCVCE2c5u6ONbwHJE=/500x0/smart/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/advancelocal/IZUFTJ2S25GFDHJ6XKGLEKZ36E.jpg[/IMG] INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - MARCH 19: Marek Dolezaj #21 of the Syracuse Orange drives to the basket against Nathan Mensah #31 of the San Diego State Aztecs during the first half in the first round game of the 2021 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Hinkle Fieldhouse on March 19, 2021 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

[URL='https://www.whec.com/top-news/new-national-and-nys-record-pumpkin-weighs-in-at-2554-pounds/']WHEC[/URL] reports Scott Andrusz of Williamsville, N.Y., weighed his locally grown pumpkin at the Great Pumpkin Farm in Clarence on Saturday. The massive pumpkin weighed 2,554 pounds, a new state record (previously 2,517 pounds) and breaking the previous U.S. record of [URL='https://www.newyorkupstate.com/western-ny/2018/10/largest_pumpkin_ny_state_record.html']2,528 pounds[/URL] (from New Hampshire). According to the [URL='https://buffalonews.com/news/local/local-pumpkin-weighing-2-554-breaks-national-record/article_95dbec5c-4264-11ed-8941-fbfb9846b97b.html']Buffalo News[/URL], Andrusz came short of the world record for heaviest pumpkin ever, set by a farmer in Italy in 2021 with a 2,702-pound pumpkin, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Still, it could make a pretty huge Jack-o’-lantern or a whole lot of pumpkin pies. Andrusz, whose team was called Andrusz Giants, also won $5,000 for bringing a record pumpkin to the World Pumpkin Weigh-Off on Saturday. Andrusz’ prized pumpkin will be on display through Oct. 16 at the Great Pumpkin Farm, located 17 miles outside of Buffalo. The Great Pumpkin Farm Festival, also featuring rides, a corn maze, apple cannons, a pumpkin patch, and food, continues daily through Oct. 31.
