Naw.  It's OK Ray.  Everyone should have SSB capabilities so they can introduce people to ham radio by having them talk to someone far away.

Just do 5 Hail Samuels with a straight key and think pure thoughts.

yah, but...

If you did 5 Hail Hirams instead, you could include a Wouf Hong in one hand and a Retty snitch in the other, while STILL paying homage to the inventor of the muffler, the machine gun AND the gun silencer.



Dunno about the rest of the sinners here, but I never previously noticed how painful those two devices of enforcement appear to be.  In fact, I don't think I ever saw the Retty snitch before which is totally bizarre, given that I had to walk right by the display at ARRL HQ that contained both, on my way to stand on "the carpet" at the Executive VP's office for some terrible thing I did while employed there.  Looks remarkably like an antenna from hell.
