[HCARC] Wild Neighborhood Rumors About Ham Radio Operators

[Kerry Sandstrom]

Well John, rumor has it almost anyplace in the Pacific Northwest from 
Northern California to Washington State.  Now that it is legal up there, 
I'm sure they are everywhere.  Its a little too dry here in Central 
Texas I think, but I bet you can find some in the piney woods of East 
Texas.  Note: I'm neither a producer nor a consumer, just my 
impressions.  I bet A-Rod could provide more definitive information!

By the way, its nice to see the Red Sox in their usual position at the 
bottom of the AL - East.

How are you doing?  I haven't seen or heard you since you left on your 
road trip to the West Coast.
