Hey peoples, hate to resurrect this thread but seems like the bunch
of you failed to realize, it's been over a year and I'm still here at 86
+ 3 or so weeks...
Told-ya, I'm expecting to be around for a few last year...
You make the world a fun place, Ralph. Happy birthday! Kevin, WB4AIO. |

Happy Birthday Ralph! When we were chatting on 40 meters the other day I ran the timer on your PTT reflexes and I was shocked to see that you are quicker on the trigger than last year! Looks like you shaved about .003 seconds (on average) off your PTT interventions from last year. That's a significant improvement in speed! Is it the 3 doses of orange flavored Metamucil each day that give you the edge? Well done OM! Looking forward to another QSO soon. 73, Rob W1AEX |

Ralph, you are undeniable scientific proof of a healthy, walking, talking carbon unit specimen - proving beyond doubt that heavy HF RF exposure increases longevity.
Keep up the good work and Happy Birthday!

"Good Luck" .. Did I hear you calling CQ on 3733 at approx. 5:15 PM?
All the best and just think, only 69 years since cranking the knobs on the BC-610 when it really meant something! "The Voice of Victory" indeed..

Yeah. Jeff... At least some one heard my 30 watt peanut whistle... Got to get the 3-500's working again. Why didn't you come back to my plaintive seekingyous? I moved down and there was a group on 3705 so I listened to the static-crashes for a while... |

Happy belated BD wishes Ralph from Martha and I. Another OT radio friend of mine was just 97 this past Saturday. Still living in his own place and very active on 40M CW. Mentally still quite sharp, but he did give up climbing towers when he was 95 years old!
