OK I'll bite, whats the part number you give for....a mic sock wind
screen?
TIP of the day .....a couple of years ago I had a M/M effort going and
my dog decided to play with a skunk. She came running into the shack
very unhappily and dove under one of the operating tables.
You should have seen the place empty. The rate meter went from 200 to
zip.
Oh the tip, auh.. well ......tomato juice really does work. You open a
can of juice
smear it on the dog......

If any of you have a 610v on file, and think that all your choices are
secure until processing of day 2 and later begins, that is not necessarily
the case. They are still issuing a few vanities. Whether these are from
the WIPS pile, or exceptions are being made for club calls, I dont know.
One of my choices just got issued to a club station. They should just get
on with it.

Gee, Gary. I was a ham kid on LI during the fifties and early sixties and
thought Dick used a bug because his Dahs were longer than 3:1, and
sometimes of unpredictably variable length. I always thought there might
have been a rum Collins on the operating table. Anyway, that's why I
wanted a tape of KV4AA-- to bypass the vagaries of memory, mine, yours, or
anyone else's.
As another ham wrote in response to my query:
"Baaaaaah dit Baaaaaaah dit Baaaaaaah Baaaaaah dit
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaah."

Hi all,
Does anyone have a forecast for the propagation on 80 during the CQ WW
contest this weekend? I'd like to concentrate my efforts on this band.
73 and CU in the TEST,

Gee, thanks for your stunning insight Ed, but why should I have to spend
time with my delete key for a bunch of crap that shouldn't be here in the
first place? And for your information, my club call 610V has NOT been
processed yet. So I am one of the people who DON'T have one yet. If I don't
get it, I will be disappointed. But I think I will be able to continue life
as I know it.
