[IRCA] I'm Back on list

[Stephen Hawkins <ng0g@xxxxxxxxx>]

IRCA,

The move to Boone has been completed or as much as it can be until we finish 
painting some of the new house.

The AM Band sure sounds differant from here.

My email address ng0g@xxxxxxxx is back on.

The trip was uneventful other then one incident in the mountains the first 
day. We had planned to leave the moment the truck was packed and just go to 
the first motel past Sacramento for the night.  We could not find any place 
and in Truckee at about 6000 ft at 2100, my wife sat her knitting basket on 
the floor of the truck and moved it with her foot.  This action pressed the 
knitting basket up against the trucks fire extinguisher.  Who ever had 
installed the fire extinguisher had neglected to insert the safety pin and it 
went off inside the truck.  A fire extinguisher going off, and dumping it's 
entire contents inside an extremely large moving truck, towing a large 
trailer,  being driven by you, while in a state of extreme exhaustion, in the 
dark, high up in the mountains, is a thrill you have to experience to even 
remotely understand.  After finally finding a gas station with a vacume that 
I could get the truck close to, I  cleaned out most of the fine white powder 
from the extinguisher and pressed on to Sparks Nevada where, near midnight, 
near death from exhaustion, we found a motel.  

My new QTH has turned out to be a very quiet location.  Extremely low 
electrical noise.  I am unpacking radios and antenne as fast as I can.
