    Jimmy,

    sked? Is that what you call a QSO on Echolink?

    A sked is a time that you and another ham agree to on that particular band and mode, just to chat.

    ah - gotcha - thx

    I'm at my desk at work - probably all morning. :-) Just started
    up Echolink - I have a friend that tells me about nets she
    is on - I need to see what I can hear...

    Work and snow are 4 letter words (hi hi)...but without work, there's
    no money for ham radio play toys.

    YEP!!!

    I did sign in on the Delta net last night... In between
    laundry. :-)

    It reminds me of the meme where the OM is doing laundry. The XYL
    glares at him, scowling "Look at you!! Doing laundry!! Last night, it
    was doing dishes...and the night before, it was vacuuming!! What part
    of 'YOU ARE NOT GETTING A NEW HAM RADIO DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND??!!" (hi hi).

    I think I've seen that... :-) This is a gaming one, but could use it
    for HAM too... Sign on the dealer table - for $5, we can supply a
    receipt you can show your wife.

    Speaking of laundry, many restaurants nowadays ask if you want to
    leave a tip BEFORE you get seated, and served your food or drink...and some will have a pre-determined tip percentage (20% or more) on to the ticket. To me, if the service is good, I will leave a tip...if not, I'm tempted to do what this one individual did.

    Same here! And I don't tip on take out, unless I feel led to for
    some reason...


    ... As I said before, I never repeat myself

    There is actually a ham store that will do that.

    But, the hams worst fear is that he'll become a Silent Key, and his
    XYL will sell his gear for what he told her he paid for them.

    I do that with DoorDash, although I saw they had a recent data
    breach. Nothing is safe anymore.
