[SOC] Membership?

[Claude TERRIER - F5PBL]

Hi Will,

Tnx for passing by and really glad to see that you are enjoying our Fraternity.
Some months ago a fellow Ham asked the same question ... (Bonjour Bill !! ;o))

Really sorry for your lost finger (:o(((( , but you know, it was not necessary
to reach that point to join us.
For your information, you fully deserve a SOC membership because of this
statement :

> "I accidentally tripped onto the SOC website a few days ago, (...) What must I
do to qualify ?"

At first sorry for your (second) accident and  well ... on the Home page of the
web site there is an huge "Membership" Button. It is clearly not big enough .. I
will tell it to the webmaster ... outch .. I am the W-Master ...

Ok, by respect to your finger we will accept you as a Member despite the fact
you did not pass through the Official way.
So ... welcome among in this Mad Gang, should you remember now and forever that
your SOC # is the 528.

Dear Will, for your personnal information, you are the 13th (sri !) new member
joining us since I have been forced to become the SOC Secretary (you just can
not imagine the level of torture I had to pass through and thus command to
accept the duty. Those at the HQ are really Horrible Monsters, noone knows that,
that's the hidden story of the SOC .... some day I will write a book abt it).

Hey guys, Will is _yet_ on the Mailing List ... no need of SOC Spamming to his
private email ( googlyelmo@earthlink.net ) ... well, maybe no need ... Up to you
!

73/72!

Claude, F5PBL

Claude,

I accidentally tripped onto the SOC website a few days ago, and I have been
enoying the list traffic since, so I would like to "apply" myself for membership
in this outstanding organization. What must I do to qualify?  I could tell you
the
story about the time I disobeyed the old "one hand in back pocket" rule for
electronic benchwork, and after a few [too many, which one is around HV] cold
807s
found myself with the live transformer from a Drake TR-4 (and all 650VDC of the
B+)dangling eltro-magnetically off my left forefinger, seemed like minutes, but
long enough to truncate permanently my finger. I can show you pictures. 37!
