===================================== MODERATOR'S COMMENT: Getting a
little obscure, aren't we?

Not for anyone who ever read The West Coast DX Bulletin. Here's a
sample of the output from the typewrite of WA6AUD:

"WEST COAST DX BULLETIN Published every week by the Marin County DX
Group. One of our local QRPers came by last week, troubled and anxious.
"It's that I figure I'm over the hill", this QRPer explained. "I'm
around the bend for sure. I am sore and troubled and these wounds of
mine....these spiritual wounds....are grievous burdens. I suspect that
I have had it". We nodded in sympathy for we know those dark watches of
the night when a DXer must wrestle with his fears....that he will
miss one. "And just what is the problem?", we asked. "Have you turned
fifty? Or something like that?". The QRPer jumped to his feet and
glared at us. "I thought that you!..you of all people would
understand", he exclaimed. "That you would know
what it is to work your 300th country and there is little left for you.
You!!..", he said and away he went. We did not call after him for we
know the wounds of the spirit and that dreaded 300th country sticker has
felled more than one noble DXer. For one must watch...and $10.50 will
bring you a full year of DX Warning Signals... $12.00 flights the alerts
at you by airmail. Beware the 300th Sticker!! Worse than Normans Woe!!"

I have about five entire years worth of the WCDXB with which I'll never
part. Where else can one find historic DX doings combined with
magnificent prose?
