John's post reminded me of an OT from the club I was in, named Joe Stone. Joe once
did a talk about the foxhole radio at one of our monthly meetings. He referred to
the users as the 'Mosquito Network' or such - does that ring a bell with anyone?
Joe's no longer with us, but he sure was a great guy. I always feel so tahnkful for
those who went before us and yet still take the time to share their experiences with
us.
