Hi All,

While I was at the last ComputerSheaux, I ran into an old Ham 
radio buddy of mine.  We've known each other for SOOO long, 
we BOTH forgot how long it's been. Hihi. (LOL!)

I got "burned out" on ham radio several years ago, from some 
"jerks" stateside in a ham radio national organization ), I was in,
(10-10 International  So, I packed all my radio gear up and got 
off the "bands" and got into Linux.

Well, John got me "fired up" again about ham radio and I have 
unpacked some of the gear and will be getting back into"radio" 
and sort of putting Linux away for awhile.

There is a local bunch on 444.900 mhz. that has gotten my 
attention with "technical" discussions, tom-foolery, antenna building, 
chasing distant stations (Europe, tiny Pacific islands, other exotic
places on 6 meter single-side band, etc.

I'm even dragged out my Kenwood "twins" to get back on HF 
radio, LOL. I even have plans to help out with the local SkyWarn 
activities when we have "bad weather" (wx).

I will continue to be the SBLUG Board of Directors rep to the
ComputerSheaux.  But my activities in the local linux group will 
be somewhat dimminished.
