Evening everyone! Back from southern Indiana, the wife and I had a good time down there. Weather was perfect the whole weekend and the IU b-ball team won too.
Jeff, I read in the last breakroom that you might have work soon. Good to hear!
Gonna relax this evening and wind down from the trip.

Many years ago I spent a lot of time to finally get five words per minute morse. Now I understand they dont require it anymore. Dont know if that is a good thing or not. Seems like more yahoo's would be able to get their license without weeding out the idiots but I dont have a radio so dont know about such things.

Evening all.

I was asked to do a traffic spot in the morning by one of the local stations but I had to turn it down. I couldn't do the spot and get my daughter to school as well. sad too as we would have been the first in the local market. Part of the drawbacks of single parenting.

As far as a ham operator, I never really considered it.

Actually I think I might get one!

Top it off I can braze and acetylene weld too. Hows that for antiquated.

Wish I could TIG though, course never tried, dont have the setup, but bet I could.

Can't really braze or acetylene weld either. Don't know how and no one ever showed me. And to be honest, I don't know where I'd ever be able to use it.
But I can stick weld! Not gloriously, but I can do it.
