Subj : HamData Callsign Updates To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Mon May 23 2022 12:32:00 Barry, BM> Yes indeed! BTW, do you happen to remember if their calls came up in BM> sequence? (WN1ABA, ABB, ABC, ABD) Yes, they did...but I don't recall what they were...that session was several years ago. BM> Was she from Illinois? (That state has had a few 'interesting' BM> politicians over the years.) Interesting doesn't begin to describe it. And, the family was in the local area. BM> Yes, and some people know the material, just don't perform well under BM> test conditions. We can visit the home of an examinee with medical issues, to where it's just the 3 examiners, and the examinee. We can give them a test without graphics, read the questions to them, and the available answers, and they tell us which answers to mark. But, that's the extent of "help" we can provide. BM> Yes, and sometimes the person who is academically top of BM> their class isn't necessarily the best in real life. The thing is, all hobbies are dying. The "old guard" is literally dying off, and we can't get young people (new blood) into it. Speaking of "old guard", longtime Arkansas radio DJ Bob Robbins, passed away on Saturday. He had started out with KAAY in Little Rock in 1967, when it still had a rock and roll format (it changed owners and the format to Gospel/Christian several years ago). Then, he worked at KSSN for over 30 years, before working at KMJX (The Wolf) since 2013. KMJX was always a country-western station. KMJX was originally "Magic 105" with a "hard rock" format...but new owners changed the format to classic country. Bob also headed up the US Marine Corps Toys For Tots Christmas Deal on Toy Hill each year, where folks could donate new toys so these kids would get a toy for Christmas. BM> But very hand if one has a case of diarrhea! The hole wasn't big enough. :P BM> Two words: 'utility knife'. Cut the cardboard into chunks that easily BM> fit -- sometimes the 'destructive' cutting is cathartic! I will do that the day before they run again. BM> I was watching "The Chase" a week or so ago (_Jeopardy!_ in a game show BM> format) -- question came up something like "if you are near Uranus BM> surrounced by a blue-green gas what is it?". ...Not many straight BM> faces! Sounds like when Archie Bunker asked "Edith, where do you get all this crapola??". Daryl .... Who needs veggies and nutrition?
