**NEWB ALERT** Yes yes I AM one of THOSE. Wide eyed, filled with wonderlust and eager to know-it-all. Possibly, the wave of the future but probably your worst nightmare. I am eager though. Have run the wheels off my walker twice now just to be at the forefront of the cutting edge. Viva le final frontier. To go where no one has gone before, or at least no one in their right mind.
A little about me and it will be very little as I dont want to spoil the fun. Like most people my age, I am an antique. So are most of my radios. And my cat but he is deceased, poor guy. I am a amatuer, a radio operator and an extra class but not necessarily in that order. You can find my puny R9 Cushcraft vertical in Dandridge, TN blasting out " CQ K4LCY QSO" whenever the radio is on and I am of mind and/or mental lucidity, whichever is first.
It is by mere hapchance and a need for change from the 'Mr Carlson's 'beautiful day in the neighborhood' braindrill that I discovered the Radio Shop and the delightful Mr. Buddy. He is so 'Southern" ya know! So gathering up my need to pester someone, I got here. And here is where I will park my Lazyboy, my bowl of caramel coated pop corn, (aka Cracker Jacks) and watch the goings on. So without further ado, on with the show. I do hope the sound system works. I need the amplification. Copy that?
