I've enjoyed island life for 17 years. That's 13 years more than the Confederacy was around.

When do you tell a woman you're a ham?
It's a jungle out there. Many EQ stupidly with poor articulation.

Hello all,
Despite my screen name, I live in Cleveland, Ohio, the aptly named "Mistake on the Lake." Looking forward to moving back to semi-rural upstate NY as soon as someone there will hire me. I'm an Extra Class ham and also hold a Canadian Advanced amateur license. My 12-year-old son just earned his Tech license and we're very proud of him.
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).

Welcome to the Island Doc. The first drink is on Pope Carlo I. The bartender will be by to take your order shortly. You'll probably find you're the only sane one here. The rest of us Islanders are Batshit crazy.
BTW The Mahi fishing is great. Especially down by the bar on the beach. Watch out for the crabs.

A clear conscience is usually a sign of a bad memory
