Dave Hallidy tells me Ed Gable was just kidding about being "laid off" -- he's been retired from Harris/RF for some years. Dave K1ZZ -----Original Message----- From: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 11:25 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10839] Another big power company passes on BPL I just received the attached message via Dave Hallidy, K2DH, advising that Energy East has looked at BPL and has decided not to pursue it, largely because of the observed interference levels at the Penn Yan, NY, test site. The Penn Yan test installation uses Amperion equipment -- the same manufacturer that was unable to resolve Jim Spencer's interference in Cedar Rapids. Dave K1ZZ <<K2MP report on Penn Yan.doc>>

My nose is appropriately tweaked, Jim. Kathy's good company to be in, even if she is a Yankees fan. 73 - Kay N3KN

Kathy is very much here (well, not today but most days). kcapodicasa(a)arrl.org or n1gzo(a)arrl.org should both work.

They were MARVELOUS! A full 10 on your 1-to-10 scale for quality of communication. They deserve to be mentioned. They are: Kathy Capodicasa, N1GZO and Kay C. Craigie, N3KN They were both very courteous, prompt, and as helpful as I could have hoped for. Please pass my sentiments on to the powers that be. These two YL's represent the League second-to-none. Their replies were greatly appreciated. I've had no local division contacts as yet, so I have no input for you there. So, that's my two cents worth. 73's Gregg Alexander, KC8ZZD

I was always a Jade East man in high school, with occasional relapses in English Leather. Your mentioned Haiku reminded me of a bunch of funny Haiku computer error messages that have been circulating on the internet. Here is two samples: Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams. A crash reduces Your expensive computer To a simple stone. You'll find the rest of them here: http://www.funny2.com/haiku.htm and here: http://www.infiltec.com/j-chaiku.htm At 11:26 AM 7/2/2004, you wrote: >Haiku???
