Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Getting to the bottom of 1710 - OT Chuckle

[Jon Maguire <w1mnk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, you're killing me!! :-D I just turned 61 on 2/1, and radio never 
gets old. I think the reason that
most of us love this profession and hobby is the mystique of a radio 
signal that has traversed the earth,
many times using the ionosphere. Whenever I hear DX, I get an 
exhilaration knowing that the signal has
traveled hundreds or thousands of miles with the help of the atmosphere, 
magnetosphere and the sun!!
What a rush!!

My Dad was a Ham (I have his call) so I grew up around homebrew 
equipment, yagis, ozone and a plethora of
friends from around the world. To paraphrase Gen MacArthur,  my last 
thoughts will be of the ether, the ether, the ether.
