Depending what time you get up in the morning, you might listen for me on or
about 7140 at 13:00Z That would be 6 AM California time. I talk to about 8
other guys, 7 days a week there.
I also talk to a good friend in Kuwait, Abdallah, 9K2GS on 14.200 around
02:30Z, most every night. Several of the guys are from California.

Now ain't that the way! You work hard all your life then try to
enjoy the "golden" years and end up getting sick. What a real
drag. Hey Spend away Alan, you can't take it with you as you
know. It would be fun to work you on some HF band even though I
have 100 watts and a dipole. Can work 75 through 6 meters, 2,
and 70 Cm. 73, Jim WA6EKS

Hello Howard, not only did I work hard to get what I have, but I
am also
battling terminal cancer. If I don't spend lots of dough soon, I
won't get
to enjoy it at all, Hi.

If you read Alan's earlier post on this thread, he graduated from
MIT as an
Aerospace Engineer. Obviously this enabled him to land a good
job and is
now reaping the benefits for his hard work as a blind person.
One of are alumni, (now deceased), who graduated from the
Illinois School
for the Visually Impaired received a PHD in Nuclear Physics and
worked for
the federal Governments department of Nuclear Regulations.
My point, you need to get off your but and make things happen and
not wait
for it.
Not everyone can become a Aerospace Engineer or Nuclear
Physicist, but
everyone has the potential to do better than live off Uncle Sam
and the tax
payer.
