Believe it or not, I know a guy here that was taken in by one of those Nigerian scam artists like that.  Ended up loosing his business and almost his wife over that.  Oh well, ole P.T. Barnum was right, there's one born every minute.

If the PM is interested in me enough to wire me that much money twice a week, maybe I can persuade him to send in troops or a bombing mission to Ethiopia to blow that %#$*@ 40m jamming station to oblivion.

Currently running a big homebrew transmitter (pair of 250THs modulated by a pair of 810s) paired up with a National HRO-50.  I also run a BC-610-I / NC-2-40D combo which is a lot of fun too.

Catch you on 75M AM!

I suppose some people have time on their hands. I have 1000 other things I would rather be doing.  Still, some of those stories are hilarious.

Incredibly a few fools must fall for this shit, since it is all over the net. I must get 1 or 2 emails a day. I should be right up there with Warren Buffett, with the sum total of all the money I have been granted over the past few years.
