[Boatanchors] [FLBOATANCHORS] Orlando Hamcation - Good Despite Economy

[Bob Hardie- W5UQ]

Yep... sure nuff......  W5SJ, strawberry jam, is a fugitive from two 
states now...

 looks like I'll just have to smuggle him back into Texas for the HamCom 
in June... especially since he's losing his Texas accent, being down 
here in Florida for so long now.   Got any suggestions?   :-)

Unless this DARN digital TV transition thing on June 12th keeps me from 
getting to HamCom, we'll see you again this year.   This will be my 11th 
or 12 year without missing one.  Sure want to make it.

see W5UQ.com   Accurate info in QRZ.com (just a wee bit old)
