Hey Jim. Was thinking what ever became of you. You haven't missed much
here. Keep the killfile handy as there are a bunch of nuts that have
settled here. 73, Jim on Long Island.


Hello Jim,

Been awhile since I was down your way. The Worlds' Fair, to be precise when
I was staying with a cousin on Eaton Neck Point (not sure of the spelling
and it has been 44 years or so LOL). Tried - was it K2US - the ham shack in
the Coke pavillion. A killer watt on 20 meters netted me a guy on Long
Island. Sheesh ) I did a lot better running 60-70 watts on cw from the
home shack LOL. Heck, 65 watts on AM used to get me into Italy just fine.
But Long Island running a KW? Give me a break. Why that guy responded I
never did understand.

I killfiled all the rec.radio.amateur as they had gotten so bad as of a year
or more ago. Idiots came flaming into rec.radio.cb and got what they asked
for, I guess, although a number of them are still rattling on around here.


73 from Rochester, NY
Jim





Jeez Jim Eatons Neck Point is money. Glad to hear you were rich back then
Yeah the amateurs figured that if there is trash on their ng why not
xpost it to the 'supposed' lower class operators on this ng.
Good to hear from you again Jim. Regards.
