I'll second Paul's wishes Ralph! Well done! It's always great to chat with you down in the 3700 - 3733 sweet spot of the 75/80 meter band! You still have the fastest PTT trigger in the east and you always have a strapping signal into New England. Keep up the good work down there!
:O)

Congratulations Ralph. BUT you still have five years to go to get the full 50 % discount at Shady Maple! So you and Michael Phelps have some new goals.

Though it's been a while Ralph, it's always been a pleasure. My dad died on my birthday, and people started singing "Happy Birthday to You" on that day. As a result, I came to despise that song. Instead, on my birthday people sing the following to me to the tune of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" -- so I'll sing it to you now. We wish you a Happy Birthday, We wish you a Happy Birthday, We wish you a Happy Birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
All the best, and many more! de K2VHerb

Very creative Herb! You better get back on the air otherwise you will NEVER get the W2OY tapes! In fact if you get back on the air I will sing you that song on your BD I think we need to give Ralph a BD party. Ralph, if you could have anything you wanted, what would it be? Joe, GMS

Happy birthday, Ralph. It was great to connect with you via N2IRJ's phone patch a few months ago, and I hope I can soon QSO with you via my own station (which is under construction).

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...
