  1. The Queen is never wrong. Once we thought (s)he was, but she was mistaken!
  2. I'm really that way also, just threw LZ out there as a joke. I can't think of a genre of music that doesn't have something I don't like in it. Mine is the a/c in the shack, seems to warble a nice mark/space after those RTTY Contests go silent.
  3. Personally, I've always liked Led Zeppelin as my favorite band. 20 m CW and Phone were my go to's for FD this year. Very limited Op time as usual due to annual Family do's that weekend. But managed contacts on the bands from 40-6m working a 1E station
  4. When the first brick sized Cellphones came out, a buddy got one for work. He'd call us when he was down at the lake and ask us to call back in 5 minutes. He would walk by the sunbathing girls on the beach and take that call trying to impress them. Didn't really work...
  5. Absolutely - Here in St Paul, we hear sirens, we rush outside to look for them!. But the guys I know are researchers not tour guides, so they like to keep other ears from getting their info and clogging up their spots!
  6. Others have posted VG info already, won't add to that. I do know a couple "professional" storm chasers, they both have LMR licenses for their pursuits. Mostly so they can encrypt their radio traffic, so as to not have other chasers, especially those who take groups out to show off storms, their info.
  7. Just the gift of Time to work 6 meters for the VHF Contest.
  8. Wanna see Randolpho do that ala Molly Shannon!
  9. Well, CANG and USMC do have CEWI BN's, right??? (although the nomenclature may differ)
  10. Cue the "that's not real radio" SadHam comments!
  11. An oldie but a goodie. That one's been hammered to death by the Hams, both Happy and Sad over the last couple of years. Yeah, with EchoLink or DMR/C4FM, etc., et al, I can talk thousands of miles on my handheld. But I prefer the old school nothing between me and the other guy than the ether...
  12. Or.... Both kinds of Music, Country and Western.
  13. E-1 pay in 74 was 397 per. ETS'd as an SP4 at the 505 per month. For those that care, my MOS was 98G2LAEK3/05H2LAEK3. But was also put on Temp as a 95B when I was guarding the SCIF as there weren't enough MP's with clearances to do the gig.
  14. When you're making $505 a month defending democracy, you go cheap! Except for my golf clubs back then...
  15. Well 49 years ago it was free, but required. But of all my army buddies who got CB's back then, I was the only one who sent in for the License!
  16. KAUO6363, Sent in a form that was in the Kraco box to Uncle Charlie when I was at Ft. Campbell in '76.
  17. As far as Ivy, still immune as of last weekend. I'll know about the Oak, sumac and stinging nettles this weekend after we visit the river land...
  18. well, it's been 69 years so, I think I'm in the clear there?
  19. ARRL has log books. I have a mini one for the occasional portable no cell service ops. Never have I ever logged a GMRS or CBRS contact, but the fields in a log book can be modified to suit any radio service I would think.
  20. Now that's just what Randolpho ordered!!!
  21. No bueno there my friend. I am fortunate in that I am not affected by PO, PI or Stinging Nettles. My wife didn't believe me about the PI, until I picked up a bunch from a plant in our back yard, and suffered nothing. The hill behind our garage is covered in the stuff. She, OTOH, is very much affected by them all. Makes hiking our river land an adventure in avoidance for her where I just plow on thru the itchweed...
  22. I've not ever seen this movie, so I'm glad to know I don't know what you're talking about for once!
  23. Learned Elmers Are Really NIce - he was describing you amd MarcSpaz Steve!
  24. Staycation with Horace and Daniel?
