I wouldn't either. What's an H2.

The second Generation of the HumVee. I guess that means he has money. I

don't blame him for not wanting to but the H2.

H2 = "Nomenclature" of the civilian equivalent of the military "HumVee,"
the ultimate SUV. :-) Good for off-road travel as-is, can make a
wonderful military-style mobile rig for ham "service" afficionados. Just
paint it flat olive or desert cammy color and install a huge manual code
key, plus a big "Official Ham Emergency Vehicle" sign on the side
right next to a copy of the mysterious sideways chevron used on all
military vehicles for visual ID.

How about institutional white, festooned with antennas...mostly
Amateur?

Or do you not count the American Red Cross as a valid example of
Amateur Radio's public service role, Putzy One...?!?!

Bye on the H2, thank you.

Wise decision. People your age generally tend to be involved in
more accidents operating vehicles larger than sedan size. Waning
motor skills and vision...

Okay, now back to poor Mr. Foreign Service snarling and spewing
against those who won't bow and kiss his ring. :-)

Who needs to "snarl() and spew()..." when YOU do such a good job
of sinking your own rants, Lennie...?!?!
