: Howdy, all --
: 
:     I just attended the Pacific NW DX Convention this  past weekend and
Joe
: Rudi, NK7U, was scheduled to give a talk - along with K7ZSD  and VE7SV -
on
: building a multi-op station. Joe was sick in bed and Ward, N0AX,  an op at
Joe's,
: filled in. It was very interesting to see the differences in  philosophy
and
: execution in each of these stations.
: 
:     The most interesting thing I found out was that  Joe's family had a
tower
: intervention on him. As you know, Joe rode a tower down  not too long ago
and
: got pretty banged up in the process. Thank  goodness he came out okay. His
: family told him his climbing days are over  but he can put up crank-ups.
So
: that's the reason he'll be building his fourth  station in Baker City and
only
: using crank-up towers.
: 
:     For Sale in Baker City, OR: 6 or so  towered competitive multi-op
station
: and lovely house with amazing view.  Less than a million bucks!!!!!!
: 
:     I guess the moral of the story is to be safe or  lose your erection.
Wise
: words.

: Cheers,
: Steve      K7LXC
