[Boatanchors] belated intro VE8RT

[Ron VE8RT]

Hi Bill,

   I still get that excitement, been so wrapped up i things I looked in
the log book and saw that I hadn't been on HF since July last year.
Used my 10W Elecraft to check into the Alberta Public Service Net on 75
metres, net control must have some station or a much lower than the S6
to S7 noise floor I had.  Point being is that it does pick me up to get
on the air.  Maybe I wouldn't leave a cheque until after I got on the
air though :-)  Have to pay for the station add-ons after all.
