A media in decline evidently feels that 'Jerry Springer' tactics will ease its slide to oblivion. I am surprized at the amount of displeasure voiced by all over the unkind remarks. Over-reaction to such remarks makes others wonder if the accusations may have credibility. It makes some of us appear as though we are unnecessarily uncomfortable in the practice of our hobby. K0NG. Now there is a call that has some unique possibilities for clever QSL card design. I propose the following with the utmost of respect. Picture a beam mounted on a tower, the tower mounted on top the Empire State building. A large gorilla is perched at the base of the tower with mike in one hand and J-38 key in the other. Lightning bolts coming off the beam. Talk about a memorable card. I guarantee that the call K0NG would be long remembered. Regards, Frank Kamp K5DKZ

I am not embarrased but otherwise, I resemble that remark. If the shoe fits! K0NG . Quoting Patrick Jankowiak [EMAIL PROTECTED]: From the local club mailing list. Seems it is true. Guess they think we are all lunatic old men that spend too much time in the basement. (Myself, I'm not too old, nor do I have a basement) Tom NU4G This week's issue (December 27) has an article on blogs on page 109. In the article the following sentence will surely grab the attention of Ham Radio operators and stamp collectors - Before this year, blogs were a curiosity, a cult phenomenon, a faintly embarrassing hobby on the order of HAM RADIO and stamp collecting. ]]] Letters to the editor can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fuss at Time Magazine.
