Title: Happy New Year 2020
Post by: WA2SQQ on December 28, 2019, 09:21:54 AM
Happy New Year to all - cheers!
So during this holiday season I've been sampling many craft beers. I came across two amateur radio related hoppy references. I suspect there may be many more!
New definitions for an "807"?

Happy New Year everyone.  We shall meet on the air sitting in front of the microphones in dress shirts and ties (HI). I will be drinking chocolate wine from Holland.

Happy New Year! I hope to finish a couple of stubborn projects in 2020!

I recommend an Australian Shiraz as the perfect accompaniment to your Straight Key Night operations, or working the VKs on the Gray Line down in the 3790-3800 kHz DX window:

I came across this wine at the Irving gas stop/convenience store/restaurant/Dunkies/beer and wine/ice cream parlor on Rt 43 near Rt 101 in Candia, just south of the Deerfield Fairgrounds a couple of Nearfests ago. Was very good.  Apparently named as a tribute to the land-line and eventually wireless Morse operators who were once  the main means of communication in the Outback.

All the best to everyone in the new year!
