Thanks for the B-Day Pic - but....

Wayne and Erik....

Thanks for the birthday picture.  I was intrigued by the K3s.  Could you or would you take some pics of the operation and post them?  I am fascinated by the manufacturing process and wonder how it all comes together.  Don't give away secrets, but I think that there would a lot of interest in viewing your operation.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

They need to head to Hollywood and make a movie.  Angelina Jolie could
play the part of Lisa.  For Wayne, hmm.. probably Sean Connery and
Eric could be played by Nicolas Cage.

Great!! Wow, I didn't know they used to make short doc films like that. I
guess that might be one reason why so many ordinary people in the old days
knew what ham radio was, even though the percentage of hams per capita was
actally much lower than it is today. And real CW! (Lousy spacing, but real.)

I vaguely recall that at some point (maybe during WWII) they decided that you
couldn't replicate real CW messages in a movie -- probably because of
espionage fears. Does anyone remember more about that, or am I imagining it?

Don't know where they got 15,000 miles from Teller, AK to New Zealand,
though -- it's actually half that. Maybe they just decided that 7,500 miles
didn't sound like far enough.  ;-)  (Long path is 17,500 miles, but
trans-polar -- twice. Doubt such a path would work due to absorption.)
