Welcome back, Ryan!!
Glad to see your return!
Hi Paul!
Glad to see you.
Yeah, I've come back here for some familiar faces and old friends.
However, we do need to get together on the radio sometime. My radio time is limited these days with the kids though.
Welcome back Ryan. Very nice to see you.
Wait wut?Quote:

It's actually quite a hit around here. Everyone loved it.

I don't know your family recipe so I hope you enjoy it.
I enjoy most rums, the way one would enjoy a nice whiskey. That does not however, diminish merit from a fine punch recipe.

Heya Ryan!!!! Welcome back!!!!
Well hello there Kevin!
Good to see you again Ryan.
What rig you running now days?

Still Icom Pro3 and Icom 746. Love my Icom although I think I'll be getting a K3 sometime.Quote:

Do anything with BA"s? You've got a GREAT QTH for the AM window!Quote:

I have done a bit of AM here and K4KYV gives me good signal reports.
Hello, is it safe to come out?
No. That's why I'm holding this tiny drink umbrella over my head.
Welcome to the Island. Laid back folks around here. Make yourself at home. It's safe until goat night at the bar (a hint: wear your rubber pants that night).Quote:

Completely sorry about that...you did set me up rather well. ;)
My name is Trey...welcome to The Island. What brings you here???
Other than great entertainment with a fine blend of technical knowhow?
It's Pat's fault, he posted a link on "the zed" that said he was hated here, I knew that couldn't be true, no one can hate Pat. After lurking a bit I thought the place was kind of cool, in an odd sort of way. The political overtones are a little harsh but if that is as bad as it gets I think I can handle it. When do we start drinking?Quote:

I'm sure The Bartender will be along soon...He's kinda like OPEC of the place, only he doesn't charge.
and it is a cool place to hang out and be exposed to differing opinion.
Thanks! I'm going back to "lurker mode", I'll be here if you need me. :cool2:
Yes indeed..... welcome ...... and what Bob said about goat night at the bar is true..... Bob was the one who started it!!! :dance:Quote:

.....and if you're not Canadian the excuse can be that all that political stuff is because you're American...... :-DQuote:

The Forbidden Zone is the only true "political" subforum here, but we don't get our panties bunched if someone inadvertently starts a politically oriented thread in one of the other ones. We'll just move it.
So...what's your favorite mode/band/rig? Are you a boat anchor fan, or does your shack consist of strictly bleeding-edge equipment?
