Congrats Steve.. The 'Gud Ones' are Hard to Find! I just celebrated my
5th on Aug 30th.. She told me last year.. I should get back into Ham
Radio (after a 15yr absence!) Wow.. Shes a 'Keeper Too'! Like Marsha,
Wendy is not interested (yet!) in getting a Ticket.. She always knows
where I am.. and the only comment I ever get is 'Hey'!.. (the RFI thru
her clock-radio at 6:00AM Moon Rise trying 2M EME !) but she takes it
for awhile.. then just 'gets Up'! 73 to You and Marsha..
