Topband: Been off the air a bit

[Gary Smith]

I've had to miss much of 160 this year. 
I've had a problem with my leg since a MD 
applied a tight cast back in 72. It 
finally came full circle and I've had my 
right leg amputated 6" below the knee.

The bugger is my radio is in the basement 
and the stairs are a bit too steep for me 
to feel comfortable going down on crutches 
and the rig has been off for awhile now. 
I'll be going downstairs a bit now that I 
have my strength built up with the 
crutches but its too late for much 
activity this spring,

I'll be fitted with a temporary prosthesis 
sometime this summer and looking forward 
to getting back on 160 this coming fall.

73,

Gary
