Damb, this'll really enhance productivity of those DXCC Honor Roll guys; no
longer will they have to suddenly come down with the "Scarsborough Flu" in
the middle of the afternoon and go home 8-)))) They'll simply sit at
their desks in their cube, doing whatever they do for a paycheck with an
OH2AQ winder open, then work Scarborough, and when the "WHOOP!!!!!!!"
resounds throughout the room, everybody will wonder if the DXCC Honor
Rollee won the lottery.
His/her YF/XYL/YL/whatever will be really surprised when he/she comes home
and wants to go out fer a nice dinner and show, though.
Steve, K0XP
