Yeah, it made me chuckle.  One of those "I went back into time and 
checked into the roundtable from 20 years ago".

BTW, while I did say it was my old tech/general call, I  did hang onto 
it for another 4 years after getting my extra in 1993.  Since I was 
running a lot of magazine ads under the N3FTT call offering free Gospel 
literature, I   didn't want to change it.

Good luck on 10 if you get up there today.  I'll be out most of the day 
today, so probably not much from here even if the band opens.

73, Steve KW3A
