    I have an interest in getting CQ's WAZ (worked all zones) award, but, after almost 25 years in the hobby, I still need zones 23 and 26. I am the perfect definition of an underachieving ham. Hope I fit in here OK.

    If you're not already bored nearly to death: I hold 3 FCC commercial licenses (Radiotelephone with Radar Endorsement, GMDSS Op and Maint., and Second Class Radiotelegraph). I'm also the author of a best-selling book on the history of the Second Amendment.

    I will probably hide behind the "Dr. Detroit" moniker for awhile until I am sure that most people here are as crazy as I am. Eventually I'll share a link to my web page where a more complete recitation of lies is available (actually everything I wrote here is true ... for a change).

    Funny, you don't look like Dan Aykroyd.

    Welcome, welcome. 2nd drink is on my tab. Feel free to borrow my beach chair, down on the south side of the outside bar. It's the one with the unobstructed view of the attire-optional ladies-only beachfront... don't tell my wife...

    Hi Doc. I am in the process of moving to east of Cleveland. I will soon be operating 2M FM from the 22nd floor. I hope to work some Islanders nearby soon. I don't know if you are weird enough for this group, but 'normal' is a math term. It's all good.:cool2:

    Welcome to The Island Dr. D...
    The collection of personalities here is a little unusual and not for everyone.
    Frankly, I can't wait till late November when the tension subsides just a little.
    I do hope you find a home here and enjoy your stay.
    ...and do wear your glasses around the bar, we've lost three eyes already this year do to malfunctioning Chinese drink umbrellas and one unfortunate drunken EZ-hang antenna party mishap. ;)

    Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.

    Grass skirts are hanging on the fence on the pier nearest the shore. You will find yours there. Optional thigh straps are available for those who need them at the concierge's office located on the mezzanine in the Alpha Hotel. Custom tailoring available.

    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.
