HAVE YOU SPENT
MORE TIME IN FRONT OF THE TV THIS WEEK WATCHING: CNN, FOX, MSNBC OR
BLOOMBURG THAN ANY OTHER 7 DAYS IN YOUR LIFE?
DO YOU FIND YOURSELF
USING YOUR XCVR'S GENERAL COVERAGE RCVR FOR : LOCAL NEWSRADIO, TALK RADIO
OR MAYBE THE BBC, INSTEAD OF 40M?
E N O U G H-BECOME
UNGLUED!!!...TIME TO TAKE A BREAK! APPLE SLICES IS HERE TO SAVE YOUR
SUNDAY. RELAX...AT LEAST UNTIL 60 MINUTES COMES ON TONIGHT.
....AND WE CAN'T TELL
YOU U WERE NOT WARNED ABOUT ECONOMIC AFFAIRS. REMEMBER BACK IN FEBRUARY AT
THE ORLANDO HAMCATION...IF YOU WERE ON "TEAM 22 CREW" WE NOTED THE VACANT STORE
FRONTS AS COMPARED TO A YEAR EARLIER....OR HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT OUR
FAVORITE ORLANDO RESTAURANT WAS OFFERING A "SPECIAL DEAL" FOR VALENTINES
DAY....ONE OF THE BIGGEST DINE OUT DAYS.....TOTALLY UNHEARD OF. NOT TO
MENTION THAT THIS PLACE NEVER GAVE A DEAL TO ANYONE FOR ANYTHING AS THEY WERE
ALWAYS PACKED EACH YEAR THAT WE WERE THERE.
....THEN CHARLOTTE CAME
ALONG AND THE GAS PRICES WERE SO OUT OF SITE THE THOUGHT OF DRIVING TO NC WAS
NITEMARISH EVEN IF WE DID HAVE TO GIVE UP "PULLED PORK" WITH
WD4DUG.
....OF COURSE THE
TOPPER WAS THE DAYTON HAMVENTION IN MAY....WHEN WE HAD TO SCRAMBLE FOR A
PLACE TO HOLD THE SATURDAY NIGHT 22 CREW EYEBALL BECAUSE THE PLANNED ON SPOT,
THE TOTALLY GREATEST RESTAURANT IN THE DAYTON OR SURROUNDING AREA, CLOSED ITS
DOORS FOREVER APRIL 30TH DUE TO A LACK OF BUSINESS.
.....YES APPLE SLICES
READERS WE KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING...WE KNEW THE EVENTS OF -LAST WEEK- WERE COMING AND YOU DID
TOO IF YOU HAVE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH US.
THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS
WILL WE SEE PICTURES LIKE THIS ONE FROM THE BIG APPLE CIRCA 1932 ALL OVER AGAIN
BUT WITH MODERN CLOTHES:
LETS HOPE NOT...LETS
NOT GET SO SPOOKED FROM THE MEDIA THAT THE WORST BECOMES THE REALITY.
MAYBE KRAMER HAS IT RIGHT..MARVELOUS MONDAY AFTER THE NET WE SHOULD ALL GO OUT
AND BUY BUY BUY...
PLUS WE SHOULD DO ONE
MORE THING...WE SHOULD REMEMBER OUR NON-PROFITS THAT ARE HAVING A TRIPLE HARD
TIME KEEPING UP. SOMETIME AROUND DECEMBER 21 MANY OF YOU WILL BE HEARING
FROM US VIA USPS REGARDING THE "HONOR ROLL"...OUR CARD CARRYING
MEMBERSHIP...MANY OF YOU WILL BE ASKED TO RENEW AND MANY OF YOU WILL BE INVITED
TO JOIN FOR THE FIRST TIME...WE WERE CONCERNED WITH PLANNING FOR OUR 30TH
ANNIVERSARY YEAR...NOW WE ARE CONCERNED WITH JUST SURVIVNG TO YEAR 29...PLEASE
DON'T LET US DOWN.....
.........WE KNOW YOU
WON'T....WE ALSO KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET US AND ALSO
WALTER-WA4LT..THE VOICE BEHIND THE MICROPHONE ON M-T-TH & F FROM 7-7:30 ON
THE CLASSROOM NET.
THIS CAN BE
ARRANGED. NOT ONLY CAN YOU MEET US YOU CAN HAVE DINNER WITH US JUST 31
DAYS FROM TODAY AT:
Annual
Banquet
ON NOVEMBER 21 AT THE
NY ATHLETIC CLUB WE CAN ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE GOT
TO MEET KB2GSD:
WELL
THIS YEAR WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING DR. PAUL JACOBS 
WHO HAS
BEEN NAMED AS THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER FOR THE 99TH ANNUAL RADIO CLUB OF AMERICA
AWARDS BANQUET. PAUL IS CEO OF QUALCOMM AND A MEMBER OF THE COMPANY’S BOARD
OF DIRECTORS. HE HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CDMA AND VOIP.
JACOBS WILL ALSO RECEIVE THE SARNOFF CITATION AS WILL--NOW HEAR THIS--THE
GREAT NEWSMAN BRIAN WILLIAMS FROM NBC’S NIGHTLY NEWS. THE COCKTAIL
PARTY WILL BEGIN AT 5 PM FOLLOWED BY DINNER AT 6:30 PM....ALSO IN ADDITION TO
HEARING FROM DOC JACOBS AND SHAKING HANDS WITH BRIAN WILLIAMS...OUR ALL TIME
FAVORITE TALK RADIO HOST..THE INCREDIBLE BARRY FARBER WHO IS ONE OF THE TOP TEN
TALK SHOW HOSTS OF ALL TIME WILL BE THERE TO RECEIVE THE JACK POPPELE BROADCAST
AWARD.
NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS...WILL YOU BE SITTING THERE WITH WALTER-WA4LT & ME AND BARRY AND BRIAN AND DOCTOR J AND SO MANY MORE? TIME IS RUNNING OUT ON THIS. WE CAN ARRANGE FOR AN AIRPORT PICKUP...WE CAN ALSO ARRANGE FOR VERY GOOD AND REASONABLE ACCOMODATIONS IN THE BIG APPLE....DO NOT MISS WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED TO BE THE BEST KICKOFF TO THE HOLIDAY SEASON THAT ANYONE WITH AN APPRECIATION FOR TECHNOLOGY + GREAT FOOD + EVEN GREATER PEOPLE COULD EVER ASK FOR. CONTACT US TODAY...YES TODAY...B4 U GET RE-GLUED TO WORLD EVENTS FOR DETAILS ON THIS SPECTACULAR NIGHT IN THE APPLE.
OH AND I KNOW WE MENTIONED AIRPORT PICKUPS...BUT WE SHOULD OF ALSO TALKED ABOUT .....
S T R E E T
P I C K U P S
SEE WE HAVE THIS REALLY
GOOD HAMMY PAL...BRYAN-WN9Y...FROM BORDEN INDIANA...BRYAN HAS BEEN WITH THE "22
CREW" SINCE THE VERY EARLY DAYS OF THE 80'S. BRYAN HOSTED A "CREW" SUMMER
EYEBALL AT HIS PLACE YEARS AGO AND HAS TRAVELED WITH US AND HELPED OUT AT MORE
HAMFESTS THAN WE CAN REMEMBER OVER THE YEARS.
WELL BRYAN CAME TO TOWN
TO VISIT HIS DAUGHTER WHO NOW LIVES AND WORKS IN THE "APPLE". SO ON THE
LAST DAY OF HIS VISIT WE OFFERED TO MEET HIM EARLY IN THE MORNING .. GO FOR
BREAKFAST THEN A RIDE TO JFK AND GET HIM ON THE PLANE BACK TO THE
HEARTLAND.
THE WN9Y HARMONIC LIVES
AT 80TH ST & 2ND AVE SO THAT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD CORNER FOR A STREET
PICKUP:
WE GOT THERE EARLY AND
CALLED HIM AND SAID CMON DOWN WE ARE HERE...NOT THINKING THAT .. WE WERE NOT IN
THE "SILVER BULLET" .. THE "22 CREWMOBILE"....THAT DAY WE TOOK THE CAR...AND
WHAT AN APPROPRIATE CORNER ... WE GOT TO PARK DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF:
COULD YOU IMAGINE A
BETTER PLACE TO MEET A HAM? JUST AS WE GET A SPOT IN FRONT OF NANCY'S WE
SEE WN9Y COMING ACROSS THE STREET AND TOWARDS US:
NOW REMEMBER BRYAN
THINKS HE IS GOING TO THE AIRPORT IN THE "CREWMOBILE" HE IS NOT LOOKING FOR A
CAR..WE ARE ABOUT 3 FEET AWAY IN THE CAR TAKING HIS PICTURE:
ABOVE HE IS
STANDING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF US--CLUELESS-- BETWEEN NANCY'S AND
WILLY'S......AND STILL DONT SEE US....FINALLY....HE LOOKS DIRECTLY AT US AND
STILL.....DON'T SEE US:
BUT THEN THE LITE
LIT.....!!!!!!!
FROM 80TH AND 2ND A
STRAIGHT SHOT DOWN 2ND AND A LEFT ON 58TH OVER THE BRIDGE YOU SEE IN THE HEADER
OF APPLE SLICES AND A RUN DOWN QUEENS BLVD FOR BREAKFAST AT THE
FLAGSHIP:
THEN ON TO THE VAN WYCK
AND INTO JFK...IT WAS A REALLY NICE, SUNNY, MORNING!
NOTHING LIKE OLD
FRIENDS SPECIALLY WHEN THEY LOOK RIGHT AT YOU AND DONT SEE YOU....I ONLY THOUGHT
THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPENED TO:
RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHERS...
...NOW ONLY ONE OF THEM
ABOVE IS A RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHER AND YOU KNOW ITS NOT THE GUY ON THE
LEFT. IF YOU READ APPLE SLICES OR CHECK INTO THE CLASSROOM NET YOU KNOW
WHO THAT IS...NONE OTHER THAN "THE WIREMAN" FROM THE
LEFT-COAST...GEORGE-N6VNI....NOW THE OTHER NIGHT GEORGE WENT TO THE LOCAL CLUB
MEETING:
AND WHO
DOES GEORGE RUN INTO BUT NONE OTHER THAN SOME OF MY OLDEST PALS IN HAM
RADIO...FROM 6 LAND ANYWAY..THE RETIREE, FRIED-WA6WZO AND HIS LOVELY XYL
SANDY-WA6WZN. BACK IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE "22 CREW" FRIED WAS STILL
TEACHING AND WAS VERY HELPFUL IN GETTING US OUT TO THE ARRL SW DIV CONVENTION TO
PRESENT A FORUM ON THE EDUCOM PROGRAM ... AT THE TIME "WZO" WAS
DIRECTOR OF THE ARRL SW DIVISION. ASIDE FROM BEING A RETIRED MATH
TEACHER FRIED IS ALSO RETIRED FROM THE ARRL BOARD BUT GOES ON AS AN
HONORARY VP...
BEFORE GEORGE GOT
SOMEONE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF ALL THREE OF THEM HE TOOK THIS
PICTURE:
NOW THE WAY F & S
ARE POSED IN FRONT OF THAT SCREEN IT MAKES THEM LOOK LIKE A POSTER....AND THATS
OK AS WE COULD NOT THINK OF TWO BETTER PEOPLE TO REPRESENT ALL THATS GOOD ABOUT
HAM RADIO...TRULY THEY ARE AND DESERVEDLY SO THE "A R" POSTER
COUPLE!
REMEMBER LAST
WEEK?
.....WELL IF YOU
READ SLICES #40 YOU GOT TO MEET JOHN G7OHO...EXCEPT WE GOT TO MEET HIM FOR
LUNCH WHICH IS A LOT BETTER...ANYWAY.....JOHN AND HIS "CREW" RECEIVED A
WONDERFUL WRITE UP IN THE RSGB QST EQUIVALENT OCTOBER EDITION:
The Hilderstone Radio & Electronics Club have
approached the challenge of encouraging
youngsters into the hobby by actually going to
the youngsters, instead of expecting them to
come to the club! They are now based at
Chatham House Grammar School in Ramsgate.
The enthusiastic acting Head of Science there,
John Hislop, G7OHO, already runs an afterschool
electronics club and they have assisted
some of the youngsters with their Foundation
course. They have found the students very
enthusiastic and keen to learn and, in the
process, the club has also had great fun!
From September, meetings have been at the
school and they hope to continue fostering the
students’ interest.
