[RTTY] Take Two RTTY Exchange

[Gary AL9A]

Bob,

With a Zero in the call you could also be any of the other 40 contiguous 
lower 48 states outside Zero-land for that matter!  Thank you FCC for making 
life simple, for YOU!

73,
Gary AL9A

Well, see, there's a problem with Zero-land... I could be in ND, SD, NE,
CO, KS, MO, IA or MN. So that doesn't work for me. I have to send a
subliminal thought with every message I sign.
