   Good Evening,

Conditions were poor on both bands.  Forty meters had a few storms with 
medium to deep QSB.  I am gradually learning how to control the single 
lever paddle.  If I can maintain a decent rhythm my mind doesn't switch 
to thinking about mechanics.  If I think word after word they flow 
better.  If I think letter by letter my buffer gets corrupted.


   On 1405.5 kHz at 2200z:

       Kevin.  KD5ONS

My uncle has a country place, that no-one knows about
He says it used to be a farm, before the Motor Law
Sundays I elude the ‘Eyes’, and hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire, where my white-haired uncle waits

I strip away the old debris, that hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta, from a better, vanished time
Fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar!
Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime…

Wind in my hair –
Shifting and drifting –
Mechanical music
Adrenalin surge –

Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me, across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires, to run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase
