  I was never much of a camper. 

  When I was updating the Ham Radio Humor file (off of the hyperlink 
on my QRZ bio), I came across one where the guy is saying "My SWR is 
all over the place. I better go outside, and see what's going on". 

  The truth is, there's one bear climbing the tower, and another 
waiting for him...never mind that propagation is a bear <G>.

  Another one has the XYL converting her OM's antenna into a
clothesline for her laundry. I guess propagation has washed out
the bands. <G>

 SD> It's good to see you in Micronet again.

  It's good to be back full time with BBSing, but after all the
crap in my life a year ago, I just had to have a break. At least
I didn't take a break from amateur radio.

73,

... Some days, I'm as confused as a baby in a topless bar.
