    Well, this has been a FUN evening.

    Sarah and I went to see Lewis Black in Peoria tonight. That guy is FUNNY! It was a great show. Black's opening act of John Bowman was good too.

    Come home and work a bunch of DX on 40, 75 and 160 during the contest. I worked the Czech Republic on 75 with my jive ass antenna. I also worked a bunch of Caribbean and Colombia on 160. Yes!

    Damn, I love ham radio.

    Ham Radio was more fun before the intertubes. In the 80's, I didn't have to know how stupid a lot of hams were unless I looked for it on the various war zones. Now, I see it daily, on more than one intertube site. It's depressing.

    I weaned myself of the zed a long time ago. I don't want to completely drop out of here, but it's tempting due to some posters I think are total idiots, which number about 2. Those two morons aren't going to harsh my buzz about ham radio. Contests rule. And those idiots aren't going to spoil my love of the radio because they're dumbases about other things.

    It's 4 o'clock in the morning here. Sarah dropped about 2 hours ago and the bands are a bit dead. I think I'm done too.

    Started working Argentina on 10 this morning Israel and a few others there.
    160 busy from all over Europe last night, didn't stay up long enough to wait for the USA to come out of the woodwork though.
    Add N8PR florida 5/9 200 watts vertical.

    Too late this morning for the grey line on 160...
    Will try to do better this evening.
    Enjoy the radio time, i do ;)

    Janet, are you incapable of any positive thoughts? You had a great evening and enjoyed yourself, but somehow you managed to work your distaste for some ham radio operators. Amazing, it's a real talent.

    I suspect you'd find a way to complain about money falling from the sky.

    Whatever. You're always the beacon of positive thought...I guess you're the only one allowed to complain. Thank you for allowing us to breathe your air.

    Anyway, snarkiness aside, 15 is wide open this morning. Working tons of DX with only a wire and 100 watts. The DX isn't judgmental.

    Contests (and participants) are Teh Ebil.
    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.

    Learn CW. And the WARC Bands are contest free. Otherwise, GTFOML.

    Sacrilege? From the Pope himself? This goes beyond blasphemy!

    ...oh wait. I'm Jewish. I don't believe in a Pope. Never mind.
