Welcome Ryan. Enjoy the Island.

Jazz? Did someone say Jazz? Hiya Ryan, and welcome!

Hello Ryan, welcome to the Island. Since none of these other one eyed bastids mentioned it, take the umbrella otta the glass before you try to slam the drink down. This was a public service announcement.

Welcome Ryan ;)

I just spent the last three months tilling the garden, planting the vegetables, weeding, mulching, watering, the whole schmear.

Yesterday afternoon, my wife walks out with a basketfull of broccoli, peppers, and lettuce... first harvest.

She's taking it to work today. To give away. Although she's leaving me one head of broccoli and one bell pepper.

*sigh*

Welcome Ryan.

Just noticed this thread. Sorry to keep y'all waiting.
I thought the PROFILE page was for that, but then,
the space there is rather limited.

Not enough information? To conserve bandwidth, for those interested,
there's the bio (& equipment info) at http://www.hamqth.com/w9jef

Here's Church Lady's kind of ham:

Hi JEF. Yeah, I used to live down that way. You ever heard of Pittsburg, KS? I went to school there back in the 70's. Took several trips into Arkansas to see the scenery. Fun times.

Pittsburg! (Minus the "h" at the end). Yeah, I was CE
at KKOW for a couple months, back in 1997.
The one friend I had there was Ol' Dan Willis (may he rest in peace).
They advertised for an "RF engineer" and first thing I did
was look at the ATU's at each tower base.
At one tower, the bottom of the lighting choke enclosure
had rusted out, and the unit is hanging there by its leads.
The whole infrastructure was badly deteriorated.
You could literally sprout seeds in the XMTR RF compartment dirt.
Second day on the job, it was raining, and I noticed water leaking
into the RF compartment of the Collins 10 kW main XMTR.
Had to fire up the RCA backup (5kW).

When they installed computers, I asked about my work station.
The reply was, "Why would YOU need one?" Left shortly after that.
