Welcome to the Island.

Righteous, dude...

Thanks to all. I think I may like it here. Barkeep, make it rum and coke, hold the rum. Fact; I drink, I go to jail. EVERYTIME! I don't enjoy jail as much as I used to.

It's strange how one kind of bars leads to another kind of bars, no?

How time flies when you are having fun (or getting old)! It seems I have been lurking for over 2 months now, I reckon I should at least introduce myself;
I have been “doing” Ham Radio since 1993 but never got really serious about it until last summer. The Navy never allowed me to stay in one place very long and setting up temporary stations never really appealed to me. I guess I overlooked the only true and righteous purpose of amateur radio, that of being prepared for “When All Else Fails”. I am now a happy home owner. I looked long and hard to find a place with no restrictions – if I am going to pay a quarter of a million dollars for something, I am going to do with it what I want. Thus, the metallic trees have been sprouting well in my new yard. Only one neighbor seems to have taken notice at all, “I bet you can get TV all the way from NYC with that thing”.
I haven’t been booted from any of the other sites, but, I haven’t seen anything worth responding to on them either. I do, however, present the following as evidence of my “mis-fitness”;
I am not a contester.
I am not a “Big Gun”.
I have yet to earn an award. Maybe because I have yet to attempt any?
I am not a member of any ARES, RACES or SKYWARN group (I do not even own a neon yellow vest or a flashing orange light). I am a longtime member of the ARRL but only because I really like the back half of QST.
I often experiment with different modes but my attention span seems to be too short to stick with any one of them long enough to be able to declare to the world that it is the only one worth working. I am quite content with SSB ragchews and occasional net check-ins. Don’t tell anyone but, I even sometimes stop by 14.313 and take a listen just for a chuckle (although it hasn’t been as enjoyable since the Sheriff got Ol’ Jesse James).
I do not know all there is to know about everything and, stingily, I do not offer what I do know about anything unless I am specifically asked to.
There, Islanders, is my humble plea for acceptance. What say Ye?

I didn't know that turning in my meager CQWW CW results would have gotten me an award one year, but it did.

Welcome to the Island. Bill would have welcomed you too but he was perma banned.

That's exactly how I feel. A lone Pepsi Cola in a world of Coca Cola.

Yeah but you still have to eat your broccoli.

"That's exactly how I feel. A lone Pepsi Cola in a world of Coca Cola."

You've got your troubles, I've got mine
You need some sympathy, well so do I
You've got your troubles, I've got mine
She used to drink Pepsi, that I know
And it don't seem so long ago
That we were walking
That we were talking
And drinking Pepsi
The way that lovers do
------ instrumental break ------
I too have lost my love today
All of my dreams have flown away
And so forgive me if I seem unkind
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

"Yeah but you still have to eat your broccoli."

Cubby Broccoli?
