[CW] Morse code announced to be Immaterial World Heritage of theUNESCO

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr. via CW]

Hello HB,

I think there are special tax credits for historic preservation.

Log periodics that cover 6.9 MHz to 30 MHz, massive rotators, and 120 foot
walk-up towers, heliax cables will be completely be eligible for a tax
credit.  If you pay $65,000 for such, you get a check for $65,000 from the
US Treasury.  All radios with Morse ability are covered as well.  I guess a
StepIR antenna would beat the old logs.

Just kidding folks, hang up the phones, US Tower stock just doubled in
price though.
