[Milsurplus] Hamfests, et al

[Brian McQueen]

I light my filaments on a regular basis. Only one rice box in the shack (6 mtr). When the wx  is nice, I walk away from glowing radios, and go take a long putt on my ‘38 Harley Knucklehead.  As Joe Walsh (WB6ACU) sang: “I’m an analog man in a digital world....).  I’m content to live in the past - it fits my lifestyle. Don’t apologize for how you are!  It’s worked for me for sixty yrs now.

73 fer now - Brian. WJ0P
