[MRCA] Excuses

[KA1LHZ]

I have married friends that I use my W.W.F. term on. It's the Wife Wire
Factor. They don't seem to understand the man's penchant for wanting to
hang wires in trees or running them all over the house. One XYL (W1AEW)
does understand although she didn't understand why they paid to have
their utilities run underground and then hang dipoles in the trees
surrounding their house... I don't have that issue. My Bloodhounds just
look at me with adoring eyes so long as they get fed on a regular basis.
I've got 37 acres up here in Vermont and no zoning. 73 De KA1LHZ
