    My late XYL asked if she should move the computer and ham radio stuff into the bathroom, as I seemed to spend so much time in there.

    I think the resulting QRM would've been a bit distracting. ;)

    At least I didn't have a foot switch connected to the flushing knob. <G>

    I heard a gentleman say the other day that Winter Field Day should include a graded low temperature multiplier. Operating in the Upper Midwest was a VERY different experience than southern Florida.

    Randall,

    I heard a gentleman say the other day that Winter Field Day
    should include a graded low temperature multiplier. Operating
    in the Upper Midwest was a VERY different experience than
    southern Florida.

    That's for sure. I was doing The Weather Watch Net with Arkansas
    Skywarn during that weekend. Now, I'm preparing for our spring
    tornado season.

    I saw where a place in Cuba hit 32 degrees...the first time that
    has ever happened!!

    73,
