Well, in this case, being more concerned about ham radio and the KX3 is 
entirely appropriate.  Contrary to popular belief, the Mayans did not predict 
the end of the world.  Their calendar, actually one of several they used, 
predicted essentially the end of an era.  Nothing more.  Those of us who do not 
otherwise die of something else, will wake up on December 22, 2012 and go on 
with life and ham radio as usual.

Hollywood and the mass media is largely to blame for stoking the misconception 
that December 21 2012 was the end of the world.  I wish they hadn't.  There's 
been a lot of fear and uncertainty spread unnecessarily as a result.
