Hello Daryl;

 DS>   Interesting. His QSL Card is a collectors item now.

I would imagine a few QSL cards are. When you consider the average age of
a ham is 70 (fact!) there's probably more SKs than active ones... and those
who are still active most likely are taking some form of daily medications.

 DS>   Interesting. I didn't know she was a ham.

Oh yes indeedy she was! If you ever wanted to know the definition of a
pile-up... you should have caught a frequency she popped on <G>

These I knew. I'm NTS Net manager now of Nutmeg VHF net. We may end  up 
moving it to the new W1AW repeater.

 DS> W4CGP  - Musician Chet Atkins
 DS> KB2GSD - CBS News Anchor Walter Cronkite
 DS> K7UGA  - 1 time Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater
     ^^^^^
These I knew about as well.

 DS> WB6ACU - Joe Walsh of "The Eagles"
 DS> WB4KCG - Blind Country-Western Singer Ronnie Milsap
     ^^^^^^
These too. The rest I did not know about. Even if one doesn't use it, having
the license is a good thing to have because you never do know when it'll be
needed.

 DS>   That's the side effect of the new prescription to help you open the

Speaking of which... I have to make a run to get 2 refills :\
