    Okay guys here's the deal pretty much hired at Southeast freight out of Fort Myers. I have to fly down on the 21st to do final interview on 22nd. I'm very excited to get out of the nasty weather up here in CT no more winter/snow/cold. Haven't posted in awhile because of being busy trying to get out of here but if all goes well will be on the local channels down in Ft myers Sarasota area in about a month....anyway hope to make some new friends down there and maybe will see some of you out on the road....73's

    Rode out Hurricane Eloise in 1975 I think it was. We lived in Ft Walton Beach at the time. (USAF) Ruined a really awesome fishing pier. They never did build it back as long as it was before Eloise took it out. (Oh yeah, to keep this forum specific....put up my very first base station when I lived down there. Cushcraft Ringo gnd plane, Kris 23 channel on a Tenna pwr supply, and a D-104 lolly-pop mic. Worked pretty darn good too!)
