Hope you enjoy the forums! There's certainly a wide variety of material here, the rules are few, and thread hijacks are almost a tradition!

Seems the goat is in a better mood today. Welcome Dan to our little get away, enjoy the ride. Oh, please refrain from riding the goats; it makes them quarrelsome. Just ask Eddie or Carl....:stirthepot:

Welcome to the Island, Dan !

Welcome Dan.

Don't let these guys get your goat. I'm new here too.

Welcome aboard, Dan. The only advise I can give you is always keep your back against the walls.

We were going to select Canadian as the native language, however nobody could understand it so we had to change to something we all could comprehend, eh? :poke:

Canadian being the native tongue of the former Soviet state of Canuckistan.

That's right, hugs for you

Howdy all. Stumbled across this forum completely by accident while doing a google search about
beverage antennas earlier today. The powers that be are graciously letting me mingle ;)

Hi Bill! It is Bill, right? Regardless, welcome to our little island of insanity we have here. We're an eccentric lot but mostly harmless. Mostly. You'll see what I mean soon enough.

If I ever get my antenna poop in a nice tight coil I hope to put you in the log someday. Till then, come on in and welcome aboard. The barkeep will be around soon for your favorite beverage. 73!

Eric, WZ7U

Hola Bill! The powers that be are a pretty gracious bunch! They'll let anybody in here and are very unwilling to ban....

I think the only thing they don't like are folks who use the words Hola and Howdy! LOL!

Welcome to the forum. I don't post much anymore, but I tend to stalk regularly.

Eric WZ7U,
I just went and looked you up on QRZ.....seriously? That picture of Donald Trump breastfeeding a baby?
Do you have any idea how many people are going to be offended when I post that on my Facebook page?

OMG! This is going to be fun! Thank you!

Ya, I'm in need of some adult beverages this evening. I go by John, most folks
use other names when I'm not around.

Welcome to the Island........and if you are approached by Eddie K7SGJ at the Island's bar, just nod and smile and try to tolerate him, he likes to be noticed.........:mrgreen: ​(j/k Eddie..... )

Cheers to all ! Just got home from the beverage store. Was on 18092 khz earlier today, only got
one spot from the RBN after calling cq every 15 min or so today. Moving down to 14049 khz
letting the vibroplex do its thing.

Cheers !

Great... now I fudged the new guys name. I guess that means the next round goes on the Pope's tab. Regardless, have a great time here and welcome aboard John. :spin:

Glad to help you ruin farcebook but in the spirit of full disclosure, I stole that image from a thread on the Island, probably from the Batrender himself. Enjoy


I'm surprised over yonder hasn't dinged me for that yet.... :whistle:

Welcome...

Group hug is at 8. Don't be shy about joining the conga line. Don't mention the goat.

If you are naked while making a post to the forum, the rules state you have to disclose that fact in your post.

Hello John. Glad to see you here.

Oh, and don't pay any mind to that Crazy Canuck. We only let him him because we had to fill our quota.

Welcome to the Island.

Attachment 15515

I dunno, there is something very fishy about this new guy... Flies and all! :lol:

Hey folks. Steve here--just signed up & enjoying all the comments, info, etc.
73,

Welcome to the Island.

Attachment 15515

Welcome to the Island, I am AA1OH and my other half is N1RPN. We are down in Georgia. The bar keep will be along and offer you an adult beverage soon.

Hi Steve, welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy your stay on our beautiful Island, the bartender will keep you filled and don't worry about the tab. We send the bill "out". Oh, watch out for the goats; they will eat your sandwich in short order. Naked posting, yada yada yada and all that too. Drop in to the Island Radio Hut anytime and be our guest operator for fun and prizes.

BTW, I'm full of shit most of the time. It gives me something to do. And you something to read too. See, symbiosis in action. :shhh:

Again, welcome aboard!

Like many, I have also become highly frustrated with the goings on of qrz.com. Found this place while doing a search for a member there that has been causing grief there for quite some time, and nothing was being done.

Not sure how much else to add, but ask away if so inclined.

Well, I was doing a Google search of that "special someone," and found this great site. That special someone apparently was even banned here, which is interesting. From what I have read, it takes a lot to get banned here (not that I'm going to try!).

Unlike over yonder, at least here you get a stern warning before the ban hammer falls. At least from my perspective that's how it works. You have to act pretty egregious to get slammed here and that's a big part of the draw of this place. That, and we have a bartender.

And, Tom. Welcome to the Island.

has anyone actually ever been banned here? #old #forgetful

One or two, I'm pretty sure but I'm not the right one to say authoritatively. My memory is corrupted too. Can't remember who they were..... :scratch_head: :dunno:

Well... I've been told I've been banned. But I'm stubborn and don't listen.
