[ADXA] Mobiles and other stuff....

[HamOP]

Rick… 
I met one MD there on my trip in 2009. He tried to get me to get a waiver to treat patients and VK would likely give me an interim license and allow me to come for a 2 month timeframe at least once a year and operate ham radio during ‘off hours’.. I considered it but my wife said “HELL no”… I agreed but did LOVE the scenery, especially on the hillside overlooking those valleys and the ocean near downtown. Loved the hill climbing too, but watch for tree limbs. I ate at the corner restaurant at the street junction downtown, 2 blocks from where I operated mostly. Beer was good and sorta cheap. 

I listened for you but the only spots I saw were for you on FT8 and one time you did a short stent at CW.  Prop was variable and sigs weak but CW wud have gotten thru based on your FT8 dB reports, getting up over 0 many times. Think FT8 was spotted 95+% of your operation time. I do NOT do that mode, as you know. So, no QSO possible for me. Welcome back and hope you are better. Not doing SSB allowed your throat to heal I am sure! Hi

Wasn't licensed in college (62-66) but my 64 Malibu SS was a fun car. First mobile
was in 1972 - Swan 500C with Hustler antennas - but in a 72 Oldsmobile station
wagon hi.....

Just back from my trip to FO/VK9/VK4. Fun trip - except for lousy conditions
and ear, nose and throat issues - (San, got to meet the Doc on Lord Howe and
he fixed me up, thank goodness).

Did work some of the ADXA guys chasing my little signal - will sort out the
prize winners before the next meeting. Fab prizes but won't compete with
Frank's prize (Congrats!).
