NASA Predicts Solar Storm

Yet those who are in tune with the Palos Verdes Sundancers and who read the weekly epistles from Cass, have no fear of what is to come. Those who recall the words of Red-eyed Louie, the Little Pistol and the Old Timer at the top of the hill realize that DXing is a moveable feast. Dave K8MN ===================================== 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!!" If you like it, you may go to the following url to read mo http://www.geocities.com/k2cddx/wcdxbarch.html 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? Dave K8MN |
