How is everybody doing? It's been a loooooooong time since I seriously posted. Need to return to the friendly confines of 160. I hope to be on the air this weekend. Lots to discuss.

On what frequency will you be operating?  I can at least give a signal report.

I'm going to return to 1885 if it is still available. I have the Limey rig up and running. A lot of things fell into disrepair over the years. But that is another chapter in my life.

Hi Mike! I was wondering what happened to you.  If my antenna didn't come down in the last day or so I can get on.

[W3SLK]

I'll look for you Tom. People talk about 2020 and it has been exceptionally hard on me and my family!

Hi Mike, I think we all have been suffering especially with this Covid 19 going around. I'm pushing 80 and I wonder if this thing is going to get me or not? I only spent a few weeks at the camp this year so I haven't been on the radio all that much but I have been on the board a couple times a month Send me an email if you want. BTW My older brother Don Yoder passed away on Oct 6 He was known in Danville where he and I and some of my sisters went to school. Some people that you may know might remember him? Do I have this correct, that I went to school with your father in law? I think we talked about that at one time?

Anyhow 73

Yes, you went to school with Boyd. I remember talking about you with him and he remembered you. Interesting is that I don't live far from where you grew up here in Rush Township and one of those family secrets was squirted out several years ago that my father had an affair with a woman from here (Woodruff) and an illegitimate child was produced as well. Boyd passed away suddenly in Sept. 2018 of an apparent heart attack. Although I have been divorced from his daughter since 2014, (she left me in 2nd 1/2 of 2012), he and I remained close friends as well as his son Rob and I. Things have changed here. Kathy Morris sold her house and moved to Selinsgrove where she passed away. Don Cotner is trustee president at Penn State and has a successful agricultural money lending business. He turned operations of the egg farm over to his sons. Zeek Zimmerman passed away last year and willed his large dairy farm at the corner of 'Ave G'  and Snydertown Rd. to his heirs. Don Beagle passed away about 3 years ago also. You probably knew him since he was a stalewart from the township. I ought to save a lot of this stuff for when we get on the air, but that's just a snapshot over the last several years.

Hey Mike, sorry for the slow response here. Is you QRZ email address good? If so, I'll shoot you a reply there. Perhaps others would not be interested in my life's story
