Four weeks in a row on the lower
tier gets you promoted to the upper tier.
Your appearance/position in the LPL reflects your participation on 3688, not necessarily your motivation, and it certainly does not necessarily reflect the Grid
Meister’s opinion of your value as a human being.

The Little People Top Thirty,
geographically. Thanks Duane AG7G and
Bob AF6D.
Monday night
KN6Z checked in at 12:00. We talked with
Jack N6LN about eyes and eyeglasses and looking like an old fart with
eyeglasses. Stan WG6K was enjoying the “eyeball
QSO (Jack’s joke)”, but was disappointed when the QSO descended into
gossip. Our QSOs can sink a
Sunday night I
blew you off, my darlins, and I’m terribly sorry. BZ and I often take advantage of Super Bowl
Sunday to go have some fun, because crowds and traffic are light. So, that’s what happened. It was like a two-date weekend. So, anyway, I’ll be on the air Monday night
to make up for my absence. Is that good
enough? Is that ok? Can I GO NOW?

Saturday night I
just wasn’t here, that’s all.
Friday night
KN6Z checked in at 12:00. Stan WG6K was
the first to say something, then all the snakes in the grass came out. Tonight was the Night of Unrealized
Potential. We had the first stringers,
but not all on freq at the same time; some were weak, and some checked out very
early. In tough times like these, we
have to pull out our “A” material. So
Stan told us about his neighborhood power failure yesterday. Stan saw a tree branch across some power
lines, which was causing the failure, and marveled at how many trucks were
needed and how much time it took to saw off the branch. Hours and hours. Stan says he could have done it in five
minutes. As if that wasn’t enough
excitement, we next thrilled to Stan’s unbelievably good impression of a power
saw. The crowd on freq demanded more,
and called on Stanly to perform a lawnmower, motorcycle, jet ski, snowmobile,
etc. It was too much pressure for Stan,
so he clamed up with stage fright. I
mentioned how much I like exhibits at fairs of old time putt-putt engines. So we started making putt-putt noises on
freq, and people told tales of putt-putt engines they’ve seen. Stan gave us a little theory on those old
engines. We discussed a Drudge story
about American Idol’s effort to sign
Thursday night
KN6Z got some sleep. Has to happen once
in a while.
Wednesday night
KN6Z checked in at 12:00. High noise
level again tonight. VERY slow
night. We talked about possible pig-lung
transplantation into humans (oink); an airline passenger that got high eating
medical marijuana cookies and caused trouble on the plane; the link between
internet use and depression; female terrorists that are having bombs sewn up in
their boobs; and the sixty shotguns the IRS is buying. Duane AG7G, Stan WG6K, and I did a postmortem
on last night’s “
Tuesday night
KN6Z checked in at 12:00. High noise
level tonight, at least for the folks down south. Pretty slow night, and I wasn’t doing much to
help. I blew off the net last night to
get some sleep, but then couldn’t sleep.
My mid-afternoon nap in the car today wasn’t much good either. So I was just wiped out tonight. I definitely will sleep tonight, and sleep-in
Wed. Tonight’s rumble we will dub,
“Clash of the Duanes.” Duane AG7G and
Duane W7HW mixed it up a little bit over a silly misunderstanding. They cleared it up and remain friends. For the time being there IS room for two
Duanes on the frequency, but definitely NOT three. Three Duanes and the net would blow. Anyway, the brief tension brought out the
usual howls and jeers from the Peanut Gallery.
I got some more poop from an informant tonight about the kid who was
drinking a beer in the back of my astronomy class. He had the beer in a water bottle, and was
slipping the bottle in and out of his back pack, sneaking little sips. But he reeked of beer, the informant told
me. He was not in class tonight. And now, back by popular demand, ANOTHER
Monday night the
Grid Meister slept. Early day Tuesday.

Friday night
KN6Z checked in at about 12:10. Denny
K1IY was back on freq tonight, after a VERY long hibiscus. He said he’d try to drop in more often. He recently participated in some kind of
winter Field Day. He’s hoping it will
catch on. I was sort of distracted
tonight with radio problems. I’m hearing
more and more RF in my headset, the CW mode on my 950SDX is inoperative, and I
can only get a little over ten watts out of the 950. I may have to substitute my back up 950SDX,
the one with the generous S-meter. I’m
sure that will make everyone happy. All
the bitching about my signal reports came after I took the old 950 out of
service. A new guy checked in tonight,
Ian VA7ZD, and seemed VERY pleased with us.
I think we are everything he’s ever dreamed of in a net, and he’ll be
back. He’ll be on the Heavenly Tier in
no time. Thirteen dog night.
Thursday night
KN6Z checked in at 12:05. Fabulous band
tonight. Everybody far and near were
loud. Gregg “Three G’s” AE6FN checked in
tonight after a long hibiscus. He’s been
traveling in Asia and
Wednesday night
KN6Z opted for bed. Sorry to blow you
off, my darlings. Thursday is a very
LONG, very EARLY day for me. I had my
teeth cleaned today. I was much more
comfortable this time around because I scored a Vicodin from my mom. My sadistic dental hygienist has a Swastika
tattooed on each boob, I think. She’s
really rough, but I was groovin.’ “Dos
zat hurt? How eh-bout now? How eh-bout NOW?!” Are you sick of my
Tuesday night
KN6Z checked in at 12:00. Well, we were
out of the blocks fast tonight, talking about the weather. It’s been raining here in
Monday night I
had to get some freakin’ sleep.
Sunday night
KN6Z checked in at 12:00. Slow night. Talked about rain, snow, and the weather in
general. Duane AG7G read an SWL email
from a guy pretty concerned about the window in my Chevy Nova, that doesn’t
roll up all the way. As if all that
weren’t exciting enough, people read Duane their lat-and-longs. Ryk N6DQ checked in tonight remote from
