    You're doing it wrong.

    What makes for the best main wife: boat anchor, solid-state or software-defined?

    Once again K1OIK demonstrates both his superiority over us mere mortals and his inability to grasp a point.

    Look, Burt, this ham radio thing? It's just a hobby, see, something that is supposed to provide you some pleasure. Different people pursue this in different ways and just because someone's way is not the same as your way doesn't mean it's wrong.
    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.

    That's because he's got his hands full trying to grasp his head to pull it out of his ass. :roll:

    I suggest he'd be better off to invest in a glass navel.

    Where did I say it was wrong? Among the general population I am very average. In ham radio it is the one area where anyone with average social skills can be above average
    By the way has Labor Day passed?

    To be called an ass by a typical ham is a compliment

    SKYPE is not radio, and whose to say you could not have a 90 min QSO via wireless with a North Korean if one is ever allowed to operate, without a gun to his/her head? Im an optimist. I belive this may soon happen, as all oppressive communist regimes eventually are discarded to the ash heap of history. I for one would like to have many radio contact options at hand to welcome that newly free person to the human race.

    BTW, congratulations to your lovely daughter, and for your other outstanding work with young people.

    2 TP dispensers .... now thats what I call real backup!
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!
