    My mom would agree since shes been living there since the late 80's. I first went to Carlisle in 1988, and know that town like the back of my hand (almost)...its actually getting a little Walmart/Ghetto/truck depot-ish these days. It used to be a nice, historic, quiet little town, the trucks driving down the 300 year old streets meant for wagons is really killing the place.

    It's hard to find any three hundred year old horses to pull the semis through town.

    I worked Argentina SSB QRP on 10m using Ron's old Ten Tec Argonaut 505. That's five watts. If you can't work Argentina on 20m with 100 watts, there's something wrong with your antenna.

    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.

    And at five watts, it's good for burning off warts and stuff.
