hi all-
i hear a lot of moaning that there is not any cw.......well quit moaning and call CQ for a while. do it often. not just listen . someone has to transmit and someone has to listen then answer,. it takes 2 for a QSO. I mean a real QSO more than sig report.....like what we did when we were novices and later.......the bands may just open to a new level of activity.....

Dear OMs and YLs,

      Not so many years in the future I may be confined to a nursing home
(groan - better dead) then remote operation on two meters into a remote
station may be my main enjoyment in life other than reading and hopefully my
spouse.   WSPR fascinates me still but not for DXCC purposes.    DXCC is not
of any real merit these days anyway.    Still imagine you were limited to a
city lot in Dublin; I might sing a different song.

     Peace to all and thank you almighty for having given me a fine hobby for
all these many years.
