Each time I've done so, you've tried to make it appear that I've used the generic term "radio". I think Grandpa Lennie is simply jealous of the fact that due to his waiting 54 years to get an amateur radio license... It doesn't matter whether he's jealous or not, Mike. He can fill up his years with getting on 75m and telling hams who have been in the game for decades about his experiences at ADA in the 1950's. Wow, lots of envy and hostility in that statement... -- and the fact that the actuarial tables state he probably doesn't have 15 years left... I don't intend to keep reminding him of his remaining time on the planet. Any of us could easily go before Len does. All it takes is a traffic accident (Roger Wiseman's death wish for me: failing brakes, sharp curves, twisting road) or a sudden illness. Or Robesin's predictions for "Slashed tires, bricks through windows, and terrorized wives..." The fact is that I've already enjoyed 43 years in amateur radio. Ahem, minus one year during your tour in Vietnam. Remember, no ham radio for you... -- he will be unable to accumulate 230k+ QSOs that others accumulated here have. If he gets busy and hones his skills, he could get it done. I made over that number in my nearly sixteen years overseas though it wasn't really that long since I was typically in the U.S. for two to three months between assignments and usually burned a month or so of leave in the U.S. or elsewhere each year. I've submitted nearly 30,000 QSOs to LOTW but I still have years of contest logs from the paper logging days which have yet to be entered into the computer logging database. Get off the branch water and it might be possible for you to get it done... unless you're taking time out to run for Director of the Roanoke Division. It'd be nice to have a half million or so QSOs logged before departure time. Better find a DXpedition. If Len Anderson wants to pretend that he is part of some revolution, let him play. He'll unbox his JA transceiver, hook it to a vertical antenna and have all the fun he is capable of having. Dave K8MN No different than you unboxing your TN transceiver... |
