Hi Brad,     :-)

>Sorry you did not find us on 40 meters.  We had lots
>of contacts on that band.

I listened for 2 hours on Saturday and about 2 hours on Sunday. I was e=
xcited
about the whole thing and wanted to get on phone with the TR-4C. I don'=
t operate
much phone except for the occational event such as this, so I really wa=
nted to
get in there. Not sure why I could not hear anyone. I called the club c=
all many
many times both days.

>Also sorry to disappoint you but no alcohol was on the
>premises.  We are a group of Christian hams and any
>crack like calling us "Drunks on the Lake" is very
>shameful.

No disappointment that you didn't have alcohol. In fact I think that is=
 good. My
wise crack was simply humor. Last time I knew, Christians were afforded=
 that
luxury, at least I am.

> Makes me think about not renewing my
>license next year.  I had really enjoyed this hobby
>while it has lasted.

If all it takes is a joke to make you quit, I guess you weren't too com=
mitted to
it.

How about if I publically say I am sorry I offended you? Would that ens=
ure you
will be back next year so I can try to get that Drakes on the Lake cont=
act
again?

N=D8XY is sorry he made a joke about drunks on the lake.
