[OKDXA] OKDXA meeting - Green Country Hamfest

[jpk5lad at cox.net]

Hi Gene --
Sorry I missed seeing you at Green Country but I guess our beam 
patterns never intersected the same spot.  I wanted to get out to 
the meeting but I didn't have enough fuel left in my cane and sure 
didn't want to be left stalled in the parking lot.  At least Bruce got 
my dues and that was the important part.

One of my "Round TUIT" projects has been to let you know, for 
the last several months, I've received two copies of each group 
email you send out.  I know I've probably been accused of having 
a split personality and some might say that someone my size 
should be required to get two copies.  Nevertheless, in this world 
of "green  conservation" of everything, you could probably 
conserve on electrons by dropping me back to a single copy.  
Perhaps keeping the number of electrons down to a minimum 
may save on the wear and tear on the Internet.

73 to you and all the fine folks in the group,
Jim - K5LAD

BTW -  Big congratulations to your son!
