K3 PR10 N6KR???

Wayne,
In response to a recent question about the K3's rx sensitivity on 10M, you mentioned the "PR10" preamp. New product? Or the result of sleep deprivation?
73,
Bruce, N1RX

Apparently, even though we've shipped a couple of these with excellent
results, I jumped the gun on the announcement. Sorry about that. It'll
be on the order page soon.

Could be old age. 55 tomorrow. Ouch!

Gives (us) about 25 years then, to complete our novels and work all
the DXCC countries on 2 Watts, CW.

Just think about what you accomplished in your *first* 25 years.

Wayne,

You are just a "youngster". but you are not counting right. Last
February, I celebrated being 32 (32nd anniversary of my 40th birthday) -
Life begins at 40 - right?

Remember, "old" is a state of mind and has little to do with
chronological age. I have seen people who were old at 45 just because
they thought themselves old.

Hmmm, Don't know about that. I am 61 and I don't remember
having a pain somewhere on my body 24/7 at 40 like I do now.

Anyway, Happy Birthday.

Golly Wayne, you're two years older than my fiance. She's a big live music fan and we go to a lot of concerts and hit a lot of dives listening to late night blues. Sometimes she has a hard time keeping up with me, as well on the hiking trails.

Old age is a state of mind. BTW, I also have a birthday later in the month. I'll be 71 :-)

Sounds like fun, Wes. Drop by my place for some live entertainment
next time you and your Fiancée are in the Bay Area. I play a few home-
grown blues tunes. We might be able to convince my 8-year-old son to
join in on harmonica. (Cookies work pretty well.)

Wait till it cools down, though. It was 100F in some places around
here today.

My mind keeps telling me that I'm still in my 20's and 30's it's the body
that reminds me otherwise or lack thereof I should say. My mind tells me to
do many things still and projects I would love to complete or old hobbies,
it is the Body that refuses and keeps me in check.

RE CHECKING it may be love that my mind wants but the body refuses. With
luck Wayne that will never happen to you (8-)

>> and Dead is the new 80.

Don't believe that. My mother is 90 ... two of her siblings are in
their mid 80s and all are still living independently. They lost one
brother last December at 87 (he gave up after seeing his wife through
several years of a degenerative neurological condition). Their family
has had at least two members in each of the previous three generations
live well into their 90s.

These posts are great. I am 45 and can still rip on a snowboard better than most twenty year olds. I do need ibuprofen after a tough day on cornice at mammoth though. My dad is 72 and he and his wife are competitive beach bop swing dancers. Attitude, lifestyle and genes seem to be key components to this multi-variate equation.
