[CQ-Contest] Remembering the BEST TIMES at Multi-Multi Operations.....

[Peter Grillo]

What about Jose's XE2MX QTH when Phil - N6ZZ, Dick - N6AA, Glenn - K6NA, and
many others had just christened SCCC's 1st multi-multi CQWW CW?  Jose was
beaming as we were setting up antennas and gear.  I saw him nipping off the
tip of a piece of pepper.  I asked him what it was.  In his broken English
he said, "Jalopena, very hot.  Good for the heart.  You want?"  Sure, I'll
be glad to try it.....my heart is still pounding!!

Wow, this really stirs up some emotion. The M/M's of the 70's and 80's at  
K5RC/K5GA should have been video taped for Saturday Night Live. Between
K5LZO  
blowing cigar smoke in your face when the rate dropped, him slapping you in
the 
 ear with his slipper at 3AM, my "ex" painting K5ZD's toe nails while he was

napping and K5KG drinking an entire pot of decaf coffee trying to stay
awake, 
we  would just be getting warmed up with stories. If you have never survived

for 48 hours on chocolate chip cookies, you haven't lived. If you never had 
N5AM  around (Charlie is legally blind) to press into service climbing
towers 
in the  middle of the night, you've not lived a complete life as a station 
owner.
 
Our M/M trips to XE2FU were just as entertaining with the  regular
appearance 
of "El Pollo Loco," a rubber chicken that had many uses  and taking your
life 
into your hands by using the out-house when K2TNO was in a  playful mood.
 
As they say, they ain't your father's contests any more.
