    Helen vs Ham radio

    We spent the weekend at Perrot State Park and I thought I'd get a little ham radio time in. I managed to work just one QSO via JT65 when Helen decided that it was time for dad to let her have some time on the air. Somehow I don't think I'm going to have my shack all to myself much longer...

    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    She's gonna be kicking your ass in contests before you know it.
    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.

    Of this I have no doubt.

    Yes, you've done good.

    Now: Put up a second independant antenna & buy another radio.

    I am also reminded of an old story I read, many years ago... OM was talking on HF to a friend, lamenting his wife's operating. Something to do with a pink radio, IIRC...

    Oh what a dog you are. Stations flock to yls and xyls. What a way to fill the logbook. It looks like she is doing an outstanding job, I hope she continues to be lured by the magic of radio.


    ETA That's a great name she has. That was my Moms name, too.
