Hangin' with The Hawk

Today was a good day. Got the opportunity to hang out with a great ham, KI4HEE (a.k.a. Bob Hawkins) at his QTH. We talked radio, antennas and some dubious plumbing connections for a couple of hours and even got to check out the setup. Tried busting up some pile-ups in East Germany and places in between settling on some nice QSOs in a couple of southeastern states. Even better still, got to play with his dog, Buddy-what a great friend to have! And to top it all off, Bob was generous to lend me one of his antennas to try out hitting the repeaters since I've been having some difficulties as of late. What a good day! Look forward to hangin' with the Hawk in the future! AJ4QM, Clear.
