The Peskies aren't just in that region. I had one about two weeks ago that was S9+ on the receiver, mentioned QTH in Michigan. Because I live so near Chicago and Lake Michigan is about 5 blocks from my QTH, I could only surmise I caught an exchange from the high seas of Lake Michigan. Recent law enforcements reports (I've been in law enforcement 35+ years) indicate the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel has taken up roost in Chicago for the past 3-4 years. Would not surprise me if the waterways up here is used for smuggling.

FIFTY-YEARS!!! No, wait! That's right, 'cause I'm 64. Wasn't there a song about turning 64? Sooo long ago.  
Owned four vinyl copies of "Who's Next" 'cause I wore 'em out listenin' to 'em. Hu? Speak up!

Who's Next - One of the Greatest albums ever! I'm 60 and can remember when the albulm cover slightly offended my father. (peed on a Monolyth and walking away zipping up their zippers) I still think it was a cool cover We listen to the album at work all the time!

Is Pop Comm. still being published? I haven't picked up a PC or MT in a few years. I also heard Pop Comm. dropped their Pirate listings some time ago. True?

Makes ya kinda wonder why. The Rolling Stones are another good example. Charlies Watts of the RS is 70+ years old. I think it pretty much for one thing MONEY! The famous artist Salvador Dali, in his twilight years made some pretty horrendous art, pen doodles, etc. just to get his signature on it for big bucks.
