Mike:

Well, it's going to take quite a while to figure out how to top that one!
(grin)

Thanks for sharing, and give your XYL a thumbs up for a real creative gift
choice!

Subject: My Wife and I Have a New Ham Radio

My wife, K5KKD, came home from a local store last night and said she had us
an early Christmas present, a new "Ham Radio."

Then, she began laughing as she handed me a small FM radio that is shaped
like a pig. It's curled tail is the on/off and volume control. The right ear
is the scan button, and the left ear resets the scan to the bottom of the
band.

The mouth and nose are two small speakers.

It even has a hard wired USB cable to allow it to be used as a set of
computer speakers, plus a stereo mini jack for an
MP3 player.

Obviously, the radio isn't a DX grabber, and the speakers won't wake the
neighborhood while playing "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." But, the
thing is rather cute.

And, just to prove there is still a bit of a sense of humor in the market
place, the label on the box, and on the front of the radio says, ... sit
down for this one ... "Ham Radio."

Merry Christmas to all.
