[1000mp] Why??

[Art Searle, W2NRA]

Sorry guys, I don't get it.  How often do you turn on your rig and then hit
the mic button?  I can't remember which TCXO in my radio but I turn on the
rig when I get wake up or get home and shut it off when I go to bed or leave
the house.  After warmup, what's the difference?

73,
