Roger Daltry
Locked
 
|
G'day,
#1400 (100W) accidentally found itself in a run situation in the ARRL DX SSB contest on 10 metres. Anyway, buzzing along at about 120/hour according to the logging program and a couple of complimentary comments about the audio quality (late model KSB2 and Kenwood MC-42S mic). I was stopped in my tracks momentarily when I was told I sounded like Roger Daltry! Is this good? Apparently it was meant as a compliment and I therefore took it as one. By the way, the 120/hour was certainly aided significantly by the very good behaviour of the pile up. Even through a brief phone call (thought it might have been a TVI complaint) and my wrinkly P75 logging laptop wheezing a tad under the load.

Roger Daltry is one of the lead members of "The Who", a mega rock group from the 70's. He was (is) quite a heart throb with the ladies! Perhaps you are more familiar with the other leading personality from that group, Pete Townsend. Anyway, I'm sure it was meant to be very complimentary. Now, if he had said you sounded like Tiny Tim, or Clarence ("Frogman") Henry, I would have been offended!

Personally I'd rather be told that I sounded like Roger Daltry than Mic Jagger
(similar vintage - different ageing process). 73 Stewart G3RXQ Sorry about the Mic pun...

Hey! Clarence "Frogman" Henry! Isn't that the guy that sang the 60's song,
"But I do"?? Ron wb1hga [hidden email] writes: I was stopped in my tracks momentarily when I was told I sounded like Roger Daltry! Is this good?

Sorry, couldn't resist. :-) (Apologies to those unfamiliar with The Who's songs.)

I have a bit of a hole in 70's music due to working in Antarctica for a bit over two years mid 70's.
