OK guys, will trade you a few facts for one line which only some of you
will understand.
1. Shadow delivered at 0000:01 Saturday morning. Comments NOT requested!
Well, for those of you have put out all the facts, and to lay all
the rumors to rest, so perhaps we can get back to business, here's what
happened.
Mellon set up 3 tables in the lobby shortly before OOOO EDT on Friday
night, manned by 2 gentlemen and 1 lady from the Shift Supervisor's office.
All had date stamps in red ink. Behind them were business sized letter
holders ( plastic, sorta like you see people carrying mass mailings) There
were approximately 10 of us present. By unanimous vote, a XYL applying for
a KH6 call was allowed to go first. Second was a WB8 delivering his.
Next was Shadows. ( you wouldn't believe how many Mellon Bank buildings
there are. I think I counted 6.
At exactly midnight, they began furiously stamping the envelopes and
placing them in letter trays. As the trays filled, someone took them
upstairs to the main office. The manager of the Lockbox Office assured me
earlier in the day that they intended processing them IN THE ORDER RECEIVED!
In other words, there is no dumping them all into one hugh box and no
lottery.. By 0020, the lobby was like a tomb.... I had taken along a book
to read, forgot it and took a cab back getting there again about 0030.
The place was deserted....
West Virginia is one of the most beautiful States I have ever seen. Drivers
in West Virginia are the most courteous I have ever seen. Pittsburgh has
some of the rudest people I have ever seen. I won't bother to comment on
the drivers, except to say I parked and took cabs.
I hope this information is helpful. I will not reply to any msg concerning
this one. I need a break.
73,
ED & Shadow

The date of the next running of the Asia-Pacific Sprint has been published
by various sources on two different dates. The autumn event should be held
on the third Saturday of October, which is 19 October. Some sources (CQ
Contest, QST, NCJ) give a date of 12 October, which is incorrect.
Please note that the correct date is 19 October. See you then!

I know you said NO COMMENTS, but I have just ONE question:
When you referred to the rude people in Pittsburg, were you making any
reference to DOCTOR BAFFOFNIK? He lives near Pittsburg, and I am
interested in finding out more about his character, including driving
habits.
Thanks-

Having lived in Pittsburgh for 3 years (and developed first hand
experience about the saying "it's a nice place to visit but I
wouldn't want to live there") and having an XYL who grew up
there (and was thrilled to leave), Let me make the following
comments:
I am very surprised to hear anyone call the people rude.
If you drive there, watch out for the "Pittsburgh left." They don't
believe in turn signals, and will zip out to make a left turn in
front of you as soon as the light turns green. (But NOTHING compares
to Boston drivers!)
Maybe Ed got hijacked and brainwashed while passing the Hare Krishna
palace in WVa...

Roy, with Express Mail I hope you checked the
little box that allows delivery WITHOUT a signature....

OK,
If it will take up to 3 weeks to enter all the choices and, if after this 3
week wait period then and only then will the lotto begin, what possible
difference does it make if your 610 gets delivered on Monday morning, Sept
23rd or not?
Someone please explain this to me, if you have nothing better to do.
