[OKDXA] QSL

QSL, yep when you get old and have to sit in a chair most of the day or for 48 hours at least you too will have to join the amateur radio ranks.

I have heard those guys say or may have read it in my worn out cover on the book I got from Contesting University,

One of the best ways to score high in any contest is to " Keep Your Butt in the Chair " 

What a fantastic hobby for Old Men.

Also, I think Epprights dad ( K5RX to all of my readers ) He was the inventor of Qrx because he had shortened his first name by telling people to "Just call me Q instead of Quamire thats too long for CW".  If I remember correctly, his middle name was Mental and his last name was Pipsqueak. Jim will straighten me out if it wasn't Mental.  Jim is a genius with words and names.  

"They call me Mr. Pip" his dad used to say when I sat on that aluminum attached to the telephone pole his son Jim used to have stuck out back behind his dads house.  So his Dad was always shortening things and using his sons tools to see if there was any resonance in the community.  I never saw his Dad lengthen anything.  He was a kind and generous man.  Jimmy and his parents lived in Dallas before they started calling it Little Elm.   I think Jim burned down all the trees in Dallas with his magnificent radio signals and all that was left was a little elm.  Another change of names but I think Jimmy, the son did that change.  Like I said they were both very good with words.
