OT: Ham funeral processions

[Ken G Kopp]

Rose and I were in W7OIO's funeral procession a few years ago ... there
were -LOTS- of us on his "home" repeater with many BV's, 73, etc., ....
even a bit of CW  .... such things -do- happen.  😁

I was once listening to a ham yakking on a local repeater when I figured
out from his conversation that he was operating from a funeral procession.
I guess he couldn't tear himself away from ham radio long enough to pay his
respects to the dear departed.

What is that line from the Radio Amateur's Code?

"The Radio Amateur is balanced.  Radio is a hobby, never interfering with
duties owed to family, job, school or community."
