    "This is the bridge."

    I had to back up several pages to find that, once somebody farts in the bathtub things get crazy, especially since the bridge so well keeps secrets.

    Chris, FYI, and no offense intended or implied: Hams don't broadcast. Hams transmit.

    I know this sounds picayune, but it's a pet peeve of mine. Broadcasting is the one-way transmission of information intended for reception by the general public. US stations in the Amateur Radio service under FCC jurisdiction are not by law permitted to broadcast, and have not been since broadcast station licensing started back in the early 1920's.


    ...and anytime you'd like to transmit from mountaintops, well, there are a few around here. Mt. Washington overlooking Pittsburgh is always a great vantage point (just don't get too close to the B94 transmitter... excuse me, KDKA-FM 93.7 MHz, overlooking the West End circle). To say nothing of the Laurel Highlands about an hour east of here. Make the trip, I'll even loan you my Argonaut (505) for a little HF QRP hilltopping as well...

    Not at my club's.

    500 hams in an indoor hamfest in February? It could get ugly, smell wise... thing is, the VFD's rental hall is located above a tributary of Saw Mill Run. So if you show up at our 'fest in need of bathing, you get chucked into the creek with a bar of soap.

    Is there a desert llama? There's a nomadic tribe in Africa that bathes in llama urine.

    No...but I suspect there's a Drama Llama or two lurking on our shores...
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Well, some type of desert bovine. Not a llama. I can see it in my mind from that time when I was 9 and I watched a National Geographic special on Nomadic African Tribes of the Desert.
