Thanks Bob...that's the group I was thinking of. I'll check it out. I can pop a PAC-12 vertical up in about 2 minutes and take it down in about the same. That...

Hey Mike! Long time no talk to. I was thinking about just calling the track today to see if I could get permission. Although sometimes it's easier to just beg...

If we're in jail we'll need to know the tap code. Put the alphabet in a 5 x 5 grid...omit the letter K So the letter B would be one tap (row 1) and then 2 taps...
... And you know this how? ... By the way, the W9IMS station was about the only station I heard locally on 10-meters last year. 5x9, even after dark, even in...

I have to ask this, but why would the omitted letter be K? Why not something less-frequently used like X or Z? On a side note, if anyone has seen the movie...
