Phil:

My gawd, the bands are crawling with them, there must be heavy
congestion somewhere with 'em all trying to communicate... I think my
radio has stopped working--can't find a one--heck, perhaps some
chauvinist engineer designed this piece of junk and it would pass female
voices though the audio stages--SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!

In my 50 years in engineering I've =dated= more women engineers than

Our contesting club alone has
three female members, an old girlfriend is a ham and I met W3CUL. Out
of Lord only knows how many engineers and hams I've met over the
years.

In our club, the largest radio club in the state if not in the
Pacific Northwest, about 1/3 of the hams are women, and of them,
about half are active on the air in some fashion or other.
