[TenTec] RE 28.634 & space aliens

[Steve N4LQ]

Yea and I bet you're one of em'. You're not foolin me. I mean anyone knows 
the aliens would chose a frequency that would be a harmonic of something 
just so they could plant doubt in our minds. Yea...and I see you use 
Yahoo.com, another sign. We're wise to your ways alien. TV sets....Pshaw.
Go home.
