Jim:

Sanity test? Be careful what you suggest. If they began checking for
sanity the bands would be empty!!!

Warmest regards,
John

Oh, I almost forgot W2OY. He's been SK for many years now, but
other
lids
have jumped right in to fill the gap.

I remember his well. In fact I was insulted by him several times
on 75
when
he slapped me around for having a K8 call.....hi.

Didn't a club pick up his call?

Hello, Dan

Yes, it is a club call now. OY jumped on my frequency once on 75
when I
was
chatting with a station in Ohio. Guess what? The Ohio station was
a
good
cw op and we changed to cw. At first, I tried signing 73 with him
at
about
20 words per minute. He came back stating cw was fine with him.
Inside
of
30 seconds we kept asking each other "qrq?" and rapidly cranked up
to
about
40 words per minute. With the q-multiplier cranked up, I couldn't
even
hear
W2OY. I briefly turned it down to hear him moaning and groaning
for us
to
"take those toys down into the cw band!". LOL. He didn't bither
us a
bot!

letter

Hello, Dan

Since you have been licensed since 1961, I shouldn't have to point out
that
there has never been a sanity test for an amateur radio license )
