[Elecraft] UK SSB Elecraft Net

[Edward R. Cole]

Two Billion people watched!  So did my wife and I (midnight to 4am in Alaska).

It was an interesting show of pagentry that is probably not going to 
be around much longer with all the insurrection going on around the 
world.  Nice show! (or Jolly Good! in British).  Wish them well.

My ancestor came from england in 1652 so have tenuous links back there?

William's ham license would have an "L" in it for learner! ;-)

Just to put another view about about the royals and without going into
detail on moral and historical issues, not everyone in the UK currently
shares Adi's sentiments. Probably not the hundreds of thousands who turned
out to watch the wedding in person or the millions who watched on TV in the
UK and that's without mentioning billions worldwide - even though it may
well have been of more interest to YLs and XYLs hi. What was noticeable here
was the happy atmosphere and the large number of young people out on the
streets to see and celebrate the occasion. If we could get the same number
of young people enthused about amateur radio it would be great!

Maybe the last word could go to a headline in today's UK "Financial Times" :
"A near perfect day as globe tunes in to see Britain at its battiest - and
best"

In case "battiest" doesn't transatlanticise it means "most eccentric" or
"craziest" :-)

73 to all
