Nothing new to report.  No new 5BWAS contacts.  Did a few Field Day and 13 Colonies but nothing major.  Watch with amusement and amazement the kerfuffle over LoTW being down as the ARRL got hacked.  Hackers got $1million insurance payout.

Oh, and this showed up today.  Time Flies

And before someone else brings it up.  My first membership cert was signed by some fellow named Hiram Percy Maxim.    ;D

60 years is phenomenal.  Quite an accomplishment.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
-William Pitt, British Prime-Minister (1759-1806)

Maxim died in ‘39 I think, so of course he didn’t sign my certificate. I did meet a ham in Houston who did have his first membership card signed by Maxim.  It was hanging on the wall at his family business which is how I found him.  Forshey Steinway Company.
