[K3PZN-List] Fw: [QRP-L] ham hiker adventure: Three Hundred

[Philip Karras]

Curt,

You have my vote as well. I really enjoy QRP & taking it along, but my hiking days are severely limited these days, I spend my time now helping with four grand kids! I love it, but it leaves so little time for QRP or hamming of any ilk.

The new job makes it difficult to get to meetings now since I try to leave early & that means hitting the sack early as well. But, for this I'd try to make it.

Oh well, this too will pass. Probably sooner than wanted & I'll have to look for another position anyway.
