[ICOM] PRO III

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Four years of steadily increasing B.S. in
USCGAux did it for me.  After 20 years
in USAF where I at least got paid to put
up with it, I sure didn't need or want to
PAY  my own money to get more of it!

73 - Mac, K2GKK

p.s.  Sorry, Adam.

Yup - I did - after 25 years of faithful service.  Too much BS.
