hi guys,
back in the early 70's i was lucky enough to receive a permit from the
Indian (VU) government to enter Sikkim. we had to sign in on a guest book. of
the only 13 entries Gus Browning was one of them. as of that time (1971) we
were the only non-asian visitors with a legal permit.
I sure remember the 73 magazine articles by Gus, W4BPD. What a DXer and

Try a few of them and the Old Bug will bite you again and you
will again become a ham like you used to be! - Remember ??

TopBand,
Sorry if this is a little off topic.
This description reminds me of Highway Louie whom I believe is SK. I
helped a good friend pour, and finish a 90 foot cement sidewalk all
morning, and at 66 I am so tired I cannot even think of his callsign.
Old timers in the Bay Area will know it
