[Boatanchors] 18 Ham Radio Stories by Don Thomas, W6LRG

[Phil]

Hi All,
I believe I've mentioned my long time Radio Buddy, W6LRG ("Lazy Retired 
Guy", he's the one in his 80's I frequently help out).

For years he was an author for one of the local newspapers, the Merced 
County Times (it's free at many locations).

But he's also written some ham radio stories etc, and I believe also had 
some things published in ER Magazine  (Electric Radio).

Today I ran across the CD that he gave me containing his article "18 Ham 
Radio Stories".  It's also got some pictures of him and other things and 
I thought some of you might be interested.  It's all in a zip file on my 
"Box" site.

NOTE:  You DON'T need a Box membership to download, though I believe 
some folks have had problems in the past. . .

Here's the link to it.
