3600 planes with transponders are burning 8-10 million
gallons of kerosene per hour over the USA. R-12 car air
conditioners are responsible for the ozone hole, right?

This was an old license, and the gentleman that had it passed away over
10 years ago. I think it was issued in the 50's, and I just thought
maybe one of the long time hams out here may have know him.

Re: K1RIP
I saw a guy who had (something)4KMA, not sure what the first number
was. There were huge letters down the left side of his T-shirt back
with phonetics words trailing out to the right on each one.
K iss
M y
A then very tiny letters you had to get right up to him to read which
were ntenna
Then in tiny letters like that it said, "Aren't you ashamed of
yourself?"
Way funny.....(c;

I'd like to have N5WTF LOL. I talked to someone on a web forum who
is a HAM and had someone phone him one night and curse him out for
cutting him of in traffic. It occured to me that 10 years ago it
wasn't a problem, but not you can look up HAM calls easily on the
Internet. I'm considering changing my HAM plate to a personal plate.

FCC doesn't reissue them for two years to give family members time to
get them in memory of fallen loved ones. Once that time expires, it's
every man for himself. 1x2 calls go quickly, now that it's so easy to
get Amateur Extra Class lo-code licenses....
My guy died in 1994 and noone wanted W4CSC until I showed up in 2000.
Some friends of mine at WCSC-TV were shocked when they found out...(c;

Re: K1RIP
I remember the one time I was in this guys shack how amazed I was at him
using Morse Code. It seemed like he had such a knack for it.

My friend Johnny Wertz, K4CRF, died a couple of years back. Johnny
was the finest CW operator I ever met. He spent all of WW2 sitting in
Hawaii copying that CRAZY JAPANESE Morse code at amazing speeds in
crypto groups! I've set in Johnny's home while he copied Japanese
morse off the radio at 20-30 wpm, translated it into English and told
me in English what the guy was saying to him in Japanese. Then, he'd
SEND in Japanese code back to the really astonished Japanese ham
operators on the other side of the planet. Hell, he could send and
receive THEIR code faster than any of them could. He had lots of
practice.
IN regular Morse, I've seen him copy at 75 wpm in his head and about
80 wpm from a computer keyboard to a manual typewriter. Simply
amazing. His right hand knuckles were all damaged from all the years
sending from the bug. His front finger knuckle where it met his hand
was HUGE and grotesque. He copied some of the messages that were
decoded to give valuable information of Japanese military secrets
throughout the war.
