My dad was! W6PXZ W6-Peter-Xray-Zanzibar Used to sit in the 'ham-shack' and watch him CQ all the time...
Then there was the time when my sister's college roommate's dad was trying to buy Palmyra island in the Pacific and the only communications they had with guy left on the island was via HAM, so my dad offered to help out and served to be the comms dude here in the states for a number of months. He tried to track down a fuel injector for an old military generator set that was still on the island. He looked all around but don't think he ever found a replacement for it. Unfortunately, the owners of the island kept raising the price and the deal fell thru... Fun and interesting while it lasted! I was in my early to mid teens at that time... And a close friend here in Reno is a HAM... -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Terry Blanton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 9:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]: Anybody seen this GUT before?
