[South Florida DX Association] Ham looses Home and gear

[Adam Farson]

Hi Norm,

Moral of the story: Take your dog with you wherever you go. My Boxer Max is
by my side 24/7, and accompanies me in the car whenever I go out. (The
climate is not too hot here, and many places have covered garages.)
Sometimes a small "tip" is required to secure entry for him to certain
locations.

The insurance will replace his home and (hopefully) at least enough radio
gear to get back on the air, but the loss of a beloved animal is
heart-wrenching.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

One of the hazards of being a Ham is a lightning  hit, and in this case a
resulting fire.  The pictures are a said story of  loss of life (a his
dog),equipment and the house.  You can never be too  safe - in this case no
one was home (except the dog) so the fire got out of hand  in a  hurry.
