    Certainly you wouldn't be mimicking a cheap receiver without calibrated bandspread?

    Is that something like a slip stick?

    Isn't a slide rule when they only let one person at a time on it?

    OK...I'm giddy from the hamfest.

    Why are we here? We're here because we are the Hooligans! We are the outcasts of ham radio as we know it today. We make our own beat and have our own drummer. We are rejects because WE REJECT the conforms set forth elsewhere.
    WE ARE MISFITS! HEAR US ROAR! You shant crush the Spirit of the IOMH!
    We're outcasts and rejects? Well, okay then.

    But somehow, I just can't envision (emulating Helen Reddy) "We are misfits! Hear us roar!" Maybe it's because I recall too well the source of this site's name... I keep thinking of stop-motion-animated elvish dentists... and Burl Ives...

    I like this. It appeals to me.

    My only concern would be with the actual palm trees & moonlight/cloud images. To avoid any potential copyright problems, I'd suggest hiring an artist to create something like this, but something original enough to pass muster.

    That's original art by me, copyright is not an issue.
    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.
