Alright, so I'm not an Extra class as I would be if I would just put a little discipline into studying. But I'm thinking I may have something even better up my sleeve, or, as circumstances find me, up my gown.
I'm writing from the "meat locker" as the late great Col. Jeff Cooper used to call it when he was going through his difficult days. I had a great surgeon, and a collection of the loveliest, sweetest nurses the good Lord ever graced a hospital with. I had (have) a whopping great tumor in my head bone, which can't be removed, so they whittled out as much as was feasible to forestall some other problems. It's not a cancerous thing, so as usual, the Good Lord is being unduly kind to me. But here's where I need the expert opinion of the Arfham community. From what I have heard on both local repeaters and HF nets, this experience should qualify me for an elite stature every time I key the mic, right? Do I actually have to talk about my afflictions, or is there a convenient convention I can use. Should I add a "/sickie" to my call sign? Just tell me true, am I sitting on a gold mine here, or what? 
Not seeking well wishes, as I'm doing fine. But rather, let's get the conversation flowing in the usual light hearted Arfham fashion! Hoping to get home today and back to figuring out why that %#~* Swan 500 doesn't have any bias voltage at the finals. Cheers... Jim |

Glad to hear you're in good spirits, I believe your best bet is going to be 75m phone followed by all the repeaters you can hit on your way to the club breakfast at 5am at the cheapest diner in town.
Good luck with that swan and prayers for comfort and many more days to complain about what ails you. |

Now you're thinking! Changing batteries might be a chore though. Quoted:

Jim--surely, there must be plenty of room for an internal bluetooth radio, now, eh?  Now you're thinking! Changing batteries might be a chore though. Meh. Thats what power poles are for.
