    BK> Hahahah...that's awesome. Several years ago there was a QRP contest   
    BK> called "Run For the Border", yup, you had to be operating from a Taco   
    BK> Bell parking lot. There were over 100 logs turned in! Just proves all   
    BK> most hams need for a road trip and outdoors operation, is an excuse, no   
    BK> matter how silly it is.   
      
     I saw a meme that noted Taco Bell was replacing their regular chairs   
   with toilet seats. :P And, another one noted "I got gas for 99 cents   
   yesterday...but it was from Taco Bell" (hi hi).   
      
    BK> We used to have a diner near here called "The Knuckle Sandwich"...they   
    BK> had a 1950's rock n roll motif, and served all kinds of delicious fried   
    BK> foods.  Some of the guys would meet there and call "The Knuckle Net" on   
    BK> the local repeater.  It always brought more hams to the "table" so to   
    BK> speak.   
      
     I've heard on more than one occasion, where a ham tells what his XYL is   
   making for dinner. Right after he unkeys, another ham asks "What's your   
   address?? I'll be there in 5 minutes" (hi hi).   
      
     On the third Saturday of each month, I do "The Food Net" on the QuadNet   
   Array. I've been to some Field Day events or club banquets...and man,   
   never mind their on the air workings...they can put out a spread of food!!   
      
    BK> I write up my POTA adventures and put them on my website, if you ever   
    BK> want to take a look just go to https://kb9bvn.net   
      
     I love hearing the alternate phonetics for ham radio callsigns. There   
   was one with a suffix of PBJ -- it stood for (what else??) peanut butter   
   and jelly (hi hi).
