The notch filter does not seem to work well on 10M.....

Have worked it several times in the last 2 weeks. 10 & 6 have enjoyed some excellent openings.

Heard that 29.620/R- machine several times now on the indoor scanner, with just the telescopic whip on the back of it. Usually, the Dallas, TX machine on 29.660/R- comes in on that scanner, but not this year, apparently.
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.
