The campgrounds ar usually a lot higher than SD> the water. I was never much of a camper. When I was updating the Ham Radio Humor file (off of the hyperlink on my QRZ bio), I came across one where the guy is saying "My SWR is all over the place. I better go outside, and see what's going on". The truth is, there's one bear climbing the tower, and another waiting for him...never mind that propagation is a bear . Another one has the XYL converting her OM's antenna into a clothesline for her laundry. I guess propagation has washed out the bands. SD> It's good to see you in Micronet again. It's good to be back full time with BBSing, but after all the crap in my life a year ago, I just had to have a break. At least I didn't take a break from amateur radio. 73, Daryl, N5VLZ ....
