I don't read a lot, if I did maybe it would be worth it to me but I really
don't read a whole lot, I read at times but there's just so much going on it
can take me over a month to go through the average book. Going away on
vacations I used to get a lot read but I haven't done that in over a year
now and don't see it happening again any time soon so it's more the nights I
don't get on ham radio after everyone goes to bed. If the group I used to
get on 10 meters with gets back up and going again and we're looking like we
will, that will cut it even more.
