    A shame. I wanted to go to Birmingham myself. Not enough cash in the kitty and I'm still not up to snuff after the hospital stay. But I will get to the club house to operate from there.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Uh, 'cause I live to piss off the purist ? Or is that purest ? It's just where the thread wandered .I spend too much time eating to be a real contester , and bathe too often to be the classic hamfester , yet I'm far from well-rounded . Though I am rather round . Next question .

    Oh, they're on, but you can't hear them because they can't muster a signal to save their lives. To them, working from NJ to FL, or from CA to CO is a BFD.

    Absolutely. We can't play, absolutely not. We have to sit in the living room with our families and catch up on our needlepoint. At least we'll be able to share our tales of woe with the non-VE Canadian amateurs.

    Ya gotta lighten up, yer sounding like one of them nit-pickin' libruls who insist on using the word "stevedore".

    Bartender, the natives are restless, and I suspect a taint in the Island water supply! Straight shots only until we root out the problem!

    You are likely close to 100% correct. I thought that contest weekends were precisely the reason that the telephone was invented. If they were to bring back party lines, the conveyance of critical information like NOT soiling of one's Depends last night or no prostate issues this morning could be quickly conveyed to those who have a genuine interest and free up space on the bands for a bit of radio fun for the rest of us. I dunno, I guess my favorite nets are those used for scooping up fish or catching butterflies..............
