Hi all, I’m sure you are all pretty bored with the shortages and waiting thing. I’m just excited because I finally got the most expensive email I’ve ever gotten. ;) The funny thing is, I really don’t think I want to sell my K3S and gang. That’s still an amazing radio after all these years.

I think you'll find it far more satisfying to ANSWER a CQ rather than to CALL cq. a) You don't have to copy a horrible fist. If it's horrible, find another. b) You get an answer in one or two tries, not hundreds (ymmv). You know the path is open one way, and it's probably reciprocal. c) It's
