I don't mind the idea that someone will be walking on bricks engraved

take a 35 cent brick, engrave it and charge someone a couple of hundred
bucks to place it someplace where the donor will likely never have a
chance to enjoy his pricey purchase. Since Mary Hobart (K1 More Money
Honey) came aboard, the ARRL has been all about raising money through a
number of elitist schemes.

I have some bricks and I just put up another tower. I think I'll buy a
little sand, use my Dremel tool and engrave the callsigns of silent keys
whom I remember fondly. I can place the bricks around the concrete
tower base and look at 'em any time I choose.

Hmm... if you add a brick for every memorable station you worked (DX,
ragchew, etc), you'll eventually have a large patio! ;^)

You're on to something. If I put the call of each station I worked
during the years I operated from Africa, I could brick the whole acre
and never have to mow again!
