Tell 'em Coohoo sent you!


One of my co-workers is part of the radio club, I will have to ask him
about it, from what impressions I have had in the past, it’s very much
of a "Ham good old boys" but I am sure they will help me set up
something if I join. * I just realized that while I live in a
apartment, I have a six foot Attic area that I never used, I still
have to figure out how I will get it into the main room without
drilling, but its at about 40 foot long, so I am sure that if I get
into the hobby, I know where I can set up some sort of antenna. *(I
know it’s not as good as an outside antenna, but you have to use what
you have.)


As for the Hammerlund, I will be keeping it around as I have the space
and it might be a converstation starter, even if so far I have only
been able to pick up the local AM station. (Live out in a rural area)
I will get the Grundig G8 later today and start fiddling around.


- I have a whopping 70' X 100' property.
-*My antennas take about 15 square inches on the ground
- (not counting all the chicken wire buried everywhere.)

Dave does all that Chicken Wire in the Ground

Some reports say that the Reptoids like eating
the fresh un-cooked flesh of Hu-Man Marijuana
Smokers cause it has such a 'mellow' taste.

take care dave and stay 'mellow' and alive - pal ~ RHF
