@kd0bik ah well. I prepaid in advance so I was kinda hoping I was going to have something new to play with now that Dayton was over. 3:05 PM May 23rd via Twitter for Mac in reply to kd0bik

All in all things are cool. Kinda been trying to avoid various social media stuff. Laying low on Twitter and what not. Catch y'all later. 4:08 PM May 16th via Tweetbot for iOS
Got back on radio this weekend and so far I've gone 5 days in a row making at least one PSK31 contact a day. Also started playing Diablo 3. 4:06 PM May 16th via Tweetbot for iOS

Well no Buddipole antenna for me any time soon. Someone more important can use it more than me. In due time, in due time. 1:45 PM May 12th via Tweetbot for iOS
Is the Kenwood TS-990S on the back of June QST the new Kenwood station that everyone was hyped up about for Dayton? Looks nice. 11:04 AM May 12th via Tweetbot for iOS

@KL8DX that's what dreams are for, the hope of "one day". Never know. 1:25 PM May 11th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to KL8DX
@KL8DX I'm glad too! It's neat to see and hear about something I once dreamed of doing. Next best thing to being there! Thanks 1:23 PM May 11th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to KL8DX
@KL8DX still very jealous. Continue to live my dream for me and I'll live vicariously through you. 1:12 PM May 11th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to KL8DX

@KC8GRQ @gmcintire most of the work these days is lighting up fiber for businesses, P2P, dark, MAN/WAN, and everything in between. 12:56 PM May 11th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to KC8GRQ
@KC8GRQ @gmcintire I work for a large cable co. and if they are anything like us I'm sure the business services group will sell to you 12:54 PM May 11th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to KC8GRQ
@KC8GRQ I love my TENS unit but the minute you turn it off pain returns. These spinal cord stimulators are implanted and run non-stop 12:53 PM May 11th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to KC8GRQ
