[CQ-Contest] A Few Questions about Holes

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

I had never given any thought about Ron's holes. But maybe a weekend of  
contesting by one's self causes one to think such thoughts.  
 
But now that the subject has been raised, I would like to hear more about  
the decorating scheme in Ron's hole (s).
 
Did you paint your hole(s) black?
 
If so, were you playing Rolling Stones music while you did?
 
Or is that color scheme common only for holes in the upper  Midwest?

Oh, and  after further review, it's been suggested I may want to redact   
Question #8. Point taken. No pictures of any holes,  please.

Whew!

Ron,

Several questions have been nagging me after  your  recent posts. I'm  
positive I'm not alone. In  summary:

1) Do  you have a hole in both QTH's?
2) If so, are  they the same size or is one  bigger than the other?
3) Do you need  any form of heat/AC in either of  them?
4) Where do you live in the  Fall and Spring?
5) Do those "other  places" also have holes?
6) Do  any of the holes accommodate ham  radio?
7) If you operate from the  hole, do you sign KU7Y/h? I note that  some LU  
stations do  this. Are you aware of any holes in  Argentina?
8) Many of us would  like to see picture of your hole(s). Can  you  provide 
 
them?
9) Is your hole your primary QTH or adjunct to  your main  house?
10) How long have you had these holes? Are they expensive?   What is 
involved 
in installing one at an existing residence?
11)  Are  there any specific zoning regulations for holes? How do these   
affect  hams?
12) Does your hole have Internet coverage? Note,  this is not a  trick  
question to see if you use DX spotting as  a Single Op,  assuming a 
positive 

answer to Question  #6.

And, lastly, is  SOWP 5545M the government issued registration  number for  
your hole?  Is it portable to any hole or just the  one you've mentioned?

I believe  that covers it. For my two cents,  I thought this group could 
use 

a  little levity. We wait, with  great anticipation, for your  response.

Back to dreaming about a  hole of my very own some  day.
