Where is everyone? Usually we are thicker than fleas on a hogs back on Sat mornings! lol

Ladies my father in law is a ham operator. He has an entire room he uses. We climbed to the top of Bear Mountain to put up an antennae years ago. We packed about a million yards of wire, too, which he doesn't use now, he's all wireless now. His call is Ky groundhog something, cant remember. He makes almost all of his stuff.

His grandpappy used to do it, too, and back then we didn't have phone lines up in the hollers, so he would radio a guy in "town" (population 5,000 NOW,LOL) and that guy would call the fire dept, police, whatever. I imagine that radio was a lifesaver for some.

Ok, off to the club car, see what I can find to eat!
