Ha ha...

    Once, a while back, I was messing with a 30M xtal in a homebrew 
transmitter circuit of about two transistors...  My "antenna" was a 
ten-foot piece of wire thrown on the basement floor...no antenna tuner. 
Since I didn't expect ANYONE could hear me I was sending a bit 
of...well..."scatology" I will call it...four letter words...you know. 
Well, a day or two later a very well-known QRPer that lives about 150 
miles north of me reported the incident on the qrp-l reflector...he had 
heard me on the band...  I never told anyone until now, and now...you 
ALL know...  It still makes me laugh...

    Geeze...I gotta grow up!
