[CQ-Contest] [TowerTalk] Maine Contest Site For Sale

[Van K7VS]

Guess I should weigh in on this thread!  I spent seven winters in 
Waterville, Maine as a young boy.  In October, wife and I spent a couple of 
weeks in Maine for the fun of it.  I reminised about my boyhood in Maine and 
suggested we sell out and move back there.  Wife said, well, why don't you 
simply rent an apartment and spend a month in Waterville this winter.  I 
decided to remain in Medford with my wife!  The population of Waterville in 
central Maine went from 36 thousand in the sixties to around 18 thousand 
souls now.  Wonder why.  Van, K7VS
