[Qcwa] Could he be right?

Larry et al.

Sounds good to me,  The name however leaves somewhat of a mark on the 
organization.  Perhaps you should form a chapter of an organization we 
formed here in The Orlando Florida area - SOFAR = Society of Old F*rts in 
Amatuer Radio.  Our motto is "So Far - So Good!).  Half of our membership 
(3 of 6) are QCWA members.

We meet on a semi regular basis for a trip to the local surplus parts 
emporium (SkyCraft Surplus) followed by lunch and a trip to AES to fondle 
the latest in radio gear.  On time when one of my wife's friends enquired 
where I was on the day one of the SOFAR meetings, she replied that I was 
out with my friends "Screwing Around".  When the friend pressed for a 
deeper explanation of "Screwing Around" she replied - "He goes to the local 
surplus place and looks for Screws etc.

Not quite the explanation her friend was fishing for.
