Driving long distances to get radio gear has always been fun. I am thankful that the YL enjoys the "little road trips."
She has gone on numerous trips with me to pick up stuff. It has always been a point that we will the travelling as much as I do buying the radio gear. We have driven from Cleveland to Newington CN. ( KWS1 & 75A4), Butler PA (hamfests) , Dayton OH (hamvention)twice, and most memorably was a trip to a place near Bartlesville OK to pick up a Viking Invader 2000. We stopped in St. Louis and saw the arch. Later we got off the interstate to drive on what was then left of Rt 66. We met a bunch of nice people and had a good time. I think I have stopped collecting radio gear for now as I have much more than I ever wanted or could possibly use. But I look forward to more road trips with my travelling partner. Now if I can just teach her how to use the GPS... de KA4JVY Mark --- RoadKing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well, I like driving, and would drive long distances > > to check out ham radio stuff and people, but the time is the problem. > > > Its not something my wife Valerie would enjoy, and disappearing > > for a whole day would not be fair. > > ************************************************* > > Wow!
