Yep, that would be the straw that broke the you-know-what :-) ..
Tom Root, WB8UUJ Flushing, MI USA _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sheldon Harvey Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 10:59 AM To: Discussion list for the Winter SWL Fest Subject: Re: [Swlfest] Follow up to previous postings Man, this sounds so familiar! I was President of a local area ham radio club for a few years. One year I convinced my wife to come to our annual Christmas party. It was her first, and last, amateur radio party. Getting over being one of the few women in the room was not too difficult. Things got a little uncomfortable for her watching the number of guys running around the room with all sorts of antennas, radios and battery packs strapped to them. What really took the cake though was when she found out that the guys had chosen a simplex frequency to use in the restaurant so that they could communicate with each other from table to table!!

Harmless fun! My family started calling it the "Winter NERD Fest" the year I came home with a new Gilfer-modified NRD-535 and matching key ring. My wife said, "look kids, they built a commemorative "NERD 535" radio. She will never forget or forgive me for leaving her in the hospitality room for 45 minutes with various festers in different stages of inebriation. My strategy worked as planned. jim ---------- Hey Jim- Are you sure that's your wife an not mine? Because it sure sounds like her! While we were dating I went to a couple of holiday parties year after year that my ham club holds...so one year she asked "Do any of the wives or girlfriends ever go?" I said "some do"....she said "How come you never ask me to go?"....well, honey I thought you would be bored.... so that year (maybe 2003...could have been 2002) I took her to the LIMARC Christmas party.... she's never asked to go to another one since! It's good to have separate interests from time to time just to clear your head. However, I am actually looking forward to when the little guy (who is only 5 months old) is old enough to go with me to NASCAR races and if he wants...to come with my to the Dayton Hamvention....fine.
