Hi Jonesy,

Did you just move to Pueblo from Gunnison? Gunnison is such a nice
town. Last time I was in Pueblo was during High School in the 60s. As
we used to say about Tijuana when I was in the Navy: didn't lose
anything there, so there was no reason to go back. Of course,
Colorado Springs has tripled in size since then, and to no positive
gain as far as I can tell.

Hi Richard.

Yep, DM68 has A LOT less WS VHF actvity now. Think of the postage I'll
save on QSL cards! HI!HI! How-some-ever, I have to start all over on
my 6M WAS. Got all but R.I. with 9.5 watts on 6M from Gunnison.
sigh...

(There really should be a W49S award! Quite a few folks have that!)

Being a contrarian, I selected Pueblo for the move, after my First Wife
said she was done being cold in Gunnison. Turns out Pueblo is A Great
Place to live -- unless you're trying to raise and educate children, or
need to make a living. Luckily I'm not into any of that.

Of course, Colorado Springs has tripled in size since then, and to
no positive gain as far as I can tell.

Agreed. We bought a house on the S.E. side of Pueblo -- a little out in
the county -- just to stay as far away from C. Spgs. as possible. :-)

Time is running out on worldwide radio communication. ...

I dunno if it's quite that dire, but it is disturbing fer sure...
But I have a secret weapon in my arsonal if they decide
to move in here. My yagi, and my henry amp. :/
If they ever put me off the air, I should be able to put
them off the air right back... I'll just set the beam heading
to the offending power line, and fire up the ole food browner,
and call cq on a dead band for about 3 hourz.
If they leak that bad to me, I should be able to recipricate
I would think.
I'm such a radio heathen...

motorola technology for wireless.
