[SOC] SOMEBODY IS A GENIUS OUT THERE:

[Radio K0HB]

For many many years there was an inbred group on 75m phone called the
“Geratol” net.  Met for 4-5 hours every night and “exchanged numbers”.
Started back in the 80’s — Probably still at it!

Now CWOps has started a similar deal on CW, but only on one evening a week.

If I want numbers, I’ll open an arithmetic book.
