"WONKY"... That is so funny. I've not heard that one for a while. I have a list of interesting words I've heard people use in my lifetime. WONKY is near the top.

Ha! Ha!
With our international readers on the list, I generally avoid such words but that's a personal favorite of mine too <G>. Ron AC7AC in N.W.

Hi Ron,
If you get above 1000 feet in elevation you will find snow. At 2000 feet we have had six inches since breakfast. It has not stopped yet. Plays Hobb with my SWR but made my sked this morning. We got my truck out to the main road and pointed down hill. Hopefully Washington County will show up with a grader some time today so I can go to an embedded systems seminar tomorrow and Pat can get down to Jones Farm. Be careful what you ask for ;) Kevin.

Be careful what you ask for ;) -------------------------------------------------- That's the difference between living in town here and living in the mountains too far to walk for supplies! We usually get snow at least once each year down here and, except for the year we got 6" in one day, it doesn't cause trouble for us flatlanders <G>. That time we just holed up for a few days and I got to exercise my K2 more than usual. Unlike you, if we need groceries it's only a mile from the house to the "super". Easy enough of foot even on un-shoveled ground. We seldom see snow removal gear but we adapt. The last time we had a heavy snow a guy pulled up to the drive-up teller window at the bank across the street from our office. He wasn't in a car: he was on cross-country skis. People who live in other areas often have no idea just how *mild* our winters really are in the western USA (except for you mountain dwellers)! As my Dutch wife is fond of observing, "If the canals aren't frozen, it's not cold yet!" Whatever pleases the spirit! It's that time of year again when most of us manage, for a short time at least, to reflect on the goodness in our world, how much we really have to be thankful for, and how much we really appreciate friends and family. For me, one of the most enjoyable groups is the "Elecraft gang" here on the reflector. I've had the pleasure of meeting face-to-face a few like Kevin a few miles away to Leo in far-off Holland, but most of you are just names and calls I've come to consider "friends" over the past five years just as if I'd worked you dozens of times on the air. And the rest are part of a great community I'm only just getting acquainted with, like the first QSOs on the Ham bands. Good DX, good Rag Chews, good contest scores to each and every one. Thank you for enriching my world over the years. (And may all those Elecraft orders from Santa's workshop get into Aptos on time!)

Websters.com includes an entry from the Jargon file that pretty much describes the proper use of the term.
