Hi John,

I just simply can't believe you'd choose a woman over ham radio.  <EVIL
GRIN>  I understand your choices.  You might operate the rig with her on
your lap.  Somewhere in the annals of history there are some pictures of me
at about fifteen on an outing of the Idaho Society of Radio Amateurs with my
girlfriend on one knee and a leg key on the other talking to Japan.  Believe
it or not, at that age, I could concentrate on both.  <SMILE>

Take care and go get her.  Very 73.

I'll make it in some week but this weekend wont' be it. Sunday has become 
one of the regular days for my girlfriend and I to get together for the day 
and, I think we're booked up for the rest of the year on Sundays. I may 
surprise you sometime and check in though.

>> Why don't we try two things this week-end?

>> Then, how about if we do our 75-meter test Sunday evening at our usual

>> I am not sure what frequencies to suggest, so if someone could help

>> My only complication for the week-end is that Sunday afternoon, I may

>> substantially by then.  Nevertheless, even if I can't be there, you guys

>>
>> What does everyone think?
