Congratulations Mr. Ross!  I pulled the plug about a year and a half ago and have zero regrets.  I was told "it may take some time to adjust". Bwaaaahhaaaa!  There have been times I've set my alarm at my old rising time of 5:13a just for the pleasure of shutting it off.  Enjoy, you've earned it!

Hi Guys:

  Well.....Today was my first Official Day of Retirement after nearly 33 years with the Local Men in Blue here in London. I used the day to relax and pinch myself all day, as I still can't believe I don't have to go work every morning!!!! I may miss it....but I'm sure I'll be able get over it!!!! HAHAHHAHAA........

Being a Retired Bum now, I am able to listen to the Radio whenever I wish..........so I took advantage of that and DX'd some SUNSET SKIP tonight. Conditions were not good from 1630 to 1730 EST....but after that they went wacky!!! When the smoke cleared I had 2 NEW STATIONS for both the ULR and OVERALL LOGS.....Both on 880 KHZ!!!! Also had 4 Nice Relogs and 4 of these 6 Loggings were K-CALLS!!!

RADIO Used was............................SONY SRF-T615 ULR Barefoot

ULR LOG TOTALS are now................885 Stations heard
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
