Just received this from Ward, N0AX and I thought uk-contest
reflectorites might enjoy it.

Stopping By The Station On A Snowy Evening
With apologies to Robert Frost...
Whose beams these are I think I know.
The shack above the street below;
Hiram won't see me stopping here
Imagining his tubes aglow.
My mobile rig must think it queer
I stop and do not signals hear
As daylight trades with night to make
The earliest grey line of the year.
I give the tuning dial a shake
Lest I for DX ghosts mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of QRN from downy flake.
The towers lovely, cables steep.
But I have schedules to keep,
And piles of cards before I sleep,
And piles of cards before I sleep.
