"ONE LAST POST FOR JUNE"

"HOUSTON......WE HAVE RAIN"

Fortunately we received another good dose of rain today, and there was enough light to snap a picture of those big 'ol drops!! The lightning wasn't required, but it came along too, and I had UPS's beeping and was unplugging the rig - just in case. This weather system kept HF band conditions fairly good all day (just when I thought it was dead, ten minutes later there was plenty of chatter).

DAD UPDATE

He's in recovery, doing well, and had two stints put in today. With luck, he'll be released tomorrow. There's nothing like some good old preventative maintenance to keep ya truckin!!

BOOK HINT

Here's a GREAT hint for all of you radio book hounds out there: Many times you'll see either CB or Ham radio books on Ebay that you, and many others have never heard of. Before the bidding sweeps you away, copy the title of the book and paste it in the book search area on AMAZON. You'll be surprised how many you'll find, and there are a variety of used book sellers with different prices to choose from. Yes, this is where Woody gets most of his used books. Shipping is fairly standard ($3.98), and as an example, I picked up a hardcover CB book in V.Good condition for....... twenty-two CENTS (plus $3.98 shipping). With as many radio related books that were published, you gotta know that there's quite a few in used book stores. Whenever I find good deals, I try to pass them onto you!!
