[VHFcontesting] Sweepstakes prize

[Zack Widup]

A theater here in Champaign-Urbana showed that famous movie about 6 years 
ago and raffled off 5 of the leg lamps using the numbers on the tickets. 
I didn't win one. Someone who lived not too far from me did, though, and 
had it in his picture window as his only Christmas decoration for several 
years after that. I haven't seen it in the past couple years so he either 
gave up on it or moved. Probably the latter.

73 & Ho Ho Ho,
