ARE STILL WORRIED!
NOTHING IN THE MAIL
FROM THE GOOD FOLKS AT THE DAYTON HAMVENTION...IF ANY OF YOU READING THIS HAVE
ANY CONNECTIONS OR JUST HAPPEN TO HEAR SOME GOSSIP PLEASE PASS IT ALONG..AFTER
ALL WE COUNT ON DAYTON FOR THE LARGEST GATHERING OF THE FINAST FLOCK OF FOLKS IN
ALL OF HAMDOM..."22 CREW" MEMBERS EACH AND EVERY ONE...IN FACT HERE IS ONE
NOW...NY4DX FILLING OUT HIS ICOM DAY ENTRY:
YOU READ IT HERE
FIRST
CONGESTION
PRICING
HAS
PASSED
ALMOST A YEAR
AGO WE REPORTED IN APPLE SLICES THAT THE IDEA OF CONGESTION PRICING WAS
BEING FLOATED...JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO WE HAD PICTURES OF WHERE THEY PLANNED TO
PUT TOLL BOOTHS...
WELL...IT HAS PASSED
ITS FIRST HURDLE AND IS NOW UP TO THE LEGISLATURE IN ALBANY FOR APPROVAL..PLUD
THE FEDS ALREADY PROMISED 365 MILL TO MAKE IT HAPPEN...
IT WILL
HAPPEN...REMEMBER YOU READ IT HEAR FIRST...!
WHAT DOES THIS
MEAN...IT MEANS THAT TO ENTER MANHATTAN SOUTH OF 60TH ST FROM 6AM TO 6PM 7 DAYS
A WEEK YOU WILL BE CHARGED $8.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO
US...IT MEANS AN ADDITIONAL $416 A YEAR TO GET THE MAIL AT POB 1052 ..AND THATS
ASSUMING WE COME IN JUST ONCE A WEEK...DONT FORGET THE OTHER DAYS THE CLUB
MEETINGS AND SO ON...NOT TO MENTION THE $95 TICKETS LIKE YESTERDAY....THIS IS
NOT GOOD NEWS...THE IDEA BEHIND THIS IS TO LESSEN THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC..CUT
POLLUTION..AND ON AND ON...
SEEMS LIKE FOR AS LONG
AS WE CAN REMEMBER THERE WAS TRAFFIC...EVEN BACK TO THE EARLY 1900'S THERE WAS
TRAFFIC AND TO PROVE THAT...TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PICTURE SUBMITTED BY
MIKEEE-W2HLD...NOW WE DONT KNOW IF HE ACTUALLY TOOK THIS PICTURE
HIMSELF BACK IN THE 1920'S... BUT ahhhh HE IS
WITCHONE:
THIS IS AN
EXTRAORDINARY PICTURE AS IT SHOWS THE CORNER OF BROADWAY AND CORTLAND ST....FOR
THOSE OF YOU AROUND RADIO FOR A LONG TIME YOU KNOW THAT CORTLAND ST
DEVELOPED INTO THE FAMED "RADIO ROW" ON THAT STREET AND WE REMEMEBER THIS IN THE
60'S YOU COULD GO TO ANY NUMBER OF STORES AND BUY YOUR: CLEGG OR HALLICRAFTER OR
JOHNSON OR COLLINS OR WHATEVER YOU WANTED...STORE AFTER STORE OF HAM STUFF RITE
ON THAT STREET YOU SEE ABOVE....THEN ALONG CAME THE WORLD TRADE CENTER...ON THAT
VERY SAME SITE AND IT WAS ALL GONE FOREVER....
THANK YOU
"WITCHONE" FOR THAT GREAT OLD NY PIC...NOW OL MIKE-W2HLD JUST CAME BACK FROM A
CRUISE TO JAMAICA AND CAYMAN AND HERE AND THERE AND BEING A GOOD HAMMY HE TOOK A
SW RECEIVER...STRUNG UP A WIRE AND REPORTS THAT THE CLASSROOM NET MOST MORNINGS
WAS LOUD AND CLEAR IN THE CARIB....HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE TREE ON THE ISLAND
OF JAMAICA THAT HELD HIS WIRE ANTENNA...NOW IF WE COULD JUST GET HIM A
PACK OF FLASHBULBS:

REAL HAMMY....W2HLD EVEN CLIMBED THE TREE TO HANG THAT WIRE!
