I was listening to FM broadcast on my way to the =
airport last week and caught Steve Dahl, a long-time local radio =
personality, interviewing his pal Joe Walsh of 'Eagles' fame. As some =
of you might know, Joe is a ham (WB6ACU)!
They were talking about all his gear and were asking =
for any Chicago hams to call in to arrange a QSO with Joe on 20 meters =
so that the listening audience could hear him in action.
Of all the dumb luck! Here I was, in my truck with no =
HF gear and too far from home to turn around since I had a plane to =
catch. I never found out if he got to chat with anyone, but in case you =
are interested, you can find photos of Joe's shacks (yes, three of them! =
at the following link from Steve's web site.

I'm happy to hear that Joe Walsh is a ham and is =
actually still alive!I was at one of his concerts in 1974 or 75.He was =
onstage singing and sucking hard on a bottle of liquor.All of a sudden =
he stops and lets out a giant puke,right onstage,hi hi.He then proceeds =
to wipe his lips with his shirtsleeve and go right back to =
singing!Hardly missed a beat.My friends and I were amazed and greatly =
admired him after that.
I wonder if he had one of those "Tequila Sunrises"the =
next morning?Anyhow,best 73 regards to Joe and glad to hear he survived =
"The Long Run"

What a blast from the past! I grew up in Chicago also =
and was WB9QMZ back in the late '70s. I still remember Steve in the =
mornings on WLUP "The Loop 98"...the anti-disco campaign...and his phony =
gang, the "Insane Coho Lips"! I still have a 45 record somewhere of him =
singing "Ayatollah" to the tune of "My Sharona"!
He looks pretty much the same except his hair is =
silver now! We're all gettin' old!
Thanks for the memories!

I feel deprived, since my family was from Chicago, but =
I know nothing about the town or radio history there. So here's one for =
the guys who were rock radio listeners in the NY City market in the =
70's. =20
I was a regular user of the 147.36 machine in =
Manhattan (on the then-RCA building) and one day a ham came on saying he =
had Jimmy Fink with him. Fink was a popular DJ on WPLJ (in the days of =
rock). So I got to chat with Fink and HE said his other friend Joe =
Walsh was with them. Apparently the ham who originally got on the =
machine didn't know Joe was a ham. What a repeater party that night =
turned into. =20
So much for old memories, huh? WPLJ has played noise =
for the past 20 years, and I still can't find my WABC-FM poster. (what =
would THAT be worth these days?)

Joe Walsh will be here in St. Petersburg, Florida in a =
couple of weeks. He plays in the old timers Baseball game for Childrens =
Hospital. He has been doing it for years. I didn't know he was a Ham, so =
maybe I can get a minute with him and talk radio. My brother in law =
knows him and usually picks him up at the airport for the weekend of the =
game.

Joe owes me a qsl card from when he was on one of the =
channel islands off the coast of california a few years ago.
I sent him one, and he never sent me one back.
He was supposed to as he had checked into a net that =
was for exchanging qsl cards. I guess there are two sets of rules, one =
for the priveledged and one for the rest.
By the way, puking drunk on stage really shows class. =

To owe someone a QSL card really is a figure of =
speech. No HAM actually owes another anything for a QSO. That being =
said, a QSL card is nice, and an eQSL card is even nicer (for some less =
is more).
.

There is no rule. Even if you send an SASE delivered
Fed-EX to a station you worked, it is perfectly OK for =
them NOT to send you a card. *(Unless they expressly agreed that they =
would)*. The card is a courtesy, and NOT a requirement. =20
These are my opinions of course and maybe there are =
nets where QSL for every QSO is an absolute requirement, but I am not =
aware of any.

Sounds like he barely missed a beat. I'm sure he =
didn't mean to puke on you. I wish I could sell tickets to similiar =
events.
