Hey Todd,
You need to get out of the VIP section once in a while and roll the VFO up to the ghetto to hang out with us GC's every once in a while! Hi! Hi Hi, FB! Just kidding. Happy New Year to you and the family and hope to see you guys in Richmond. Please tell Johnny not to slug me if he makes it back in time to be there.
BTW, the filaments are still lit and I'll be listening as long as the frosty adult beverages last.
I haven't been on the air anywhere for a few months now, Phil. Need to perform some overdue repairs and maintenance to the transmitters but the new baby has kept me busy and sleepy. When I'm on I do wander up into the 75m portion of the band from time to time, usually afternoons or later at night after the problem children have gone to bed. Always enjoy chatting with Jeff, Ken & Kerri, Al, even manage to catch Bill/MPY now and then. I can always tell if I'm on late enough because John N1

Dinner will holler just as I'm signing out. I'd have trouble hearing him earlier in the evening.
Johnny'd probably give you a pat on the back for saving him from hauling home another piece of gear.
Don't have a receiver here so I'm using W4AX's webSDR located near Atlanta.
http://w4ax.com/Can't remember which one(s) I used but for several years I was in Florida with the then-YL for Christmas with her family. Always missed the HMR but did manage to listen in a few times via online receivers. Was better than nothing, but takes some getting used to. Certainly an interesting aspect of having internet access.
