[TowerTalk] Copy of my note to K9MI on the HDX 56

[Mike Brown]

As stated at the begining of my post, I didn't want to make anyone mad, but 
I thought I had read that years ago. May you have many turns left, and 50 
more years use of your HDBX56.

Roger, thank you for verifying that I'm not completely bonkers, and I did 
read that somewhere.

73, Mike K9MI
