Hi!

Someone was describing an operation similar to that here on the list a few
days ago. I'm sceptical of the invisibility claim, but then the nurses
didn't believe the guys were going fishing that came to help me out one day,
so it's just as likely folks don't know what they're really looking at, hi
hi.

I had solid copy on Lloyd this morning, and then he turned the beam toward
Matt, and went below the high noise in northern Minnesota, where I was
hunch-backing.

73,
Dave

I was just talking to someone tonight in fact who is in  condo where
antennas aren't allowed. Somehow though, he has an invisible antenna and
still gets on HF very regularly.
