every two or three years - grin!)

Not everyone on Radio is an accomplished oratator/commontator. We Hams
are just regular spuds. <insert canned laughter here>
Seriously, not all of us are born with the 'gift of gab'. Nor have we
been to Broadcasters School to learn how to talk without injecting a lot
of "uhh..'s", "Well, I...", "and, uhm...'s" or "how about it, there?
did you see that, there? look over there, there."
Look, guys.. it says right there on our license.. "AMATUER!" No where
does it say "professional radio operator".
Lighten up, have a great time, enjoy the wintertime conditions, quit
-looking- for things to bitch about, and put a smile on yer face, and be
thankful we're all in this GREAT Hobby of Ham Radio together!
