[R-390] From R-390 Mail List Server Administrator - Stay at QTH.net or Move to Groups.io ???

[k1jos at att.net]

I've been licensed amateur since 1963 and spend part of my free time restoring old rigs, mainly Collins A-line and S-line.  Currently repairing a HF-380 and restoring a 75S-2/32S-2 pair.   I do some occasional rag chewing and contesting.   I have a Collins R-390 and two R-390A (Collins and a 1967 EAC), one of which I use almost nightly, but my favorite radios to get on the air are my 75S-4/KWS-1 and 75A-1/32V-2.   Non-electronics fun time spent on the Trap or Pistol range, though my wife and I just started playing golf after spending 52 years avoiding it.  I am a 74 yo research physician currently employed part-time by a small biotech as their Chief Medical Officer.

I prefer to keep a low profile except if someone goes out of their way to annoy me.

That's me in a nutshell !

I’m a majority rules kind of guy.  If the response from the group is to move I’m good with that.  It would be nice to be able to attach pictures…

But I’m good either way…

Also it’s good to know who our group admin is, but I have to admit after probably the better part of 20+ years I’m not familiar with your call or name so maybe an intro is in order.
