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).              Daryl, WX4QZ              ...
