[bars] WF1F, I am still here, just not on the air.

[Jim Idelson]

What a career change, Miles!

Or, maybe not! You've been an on-camera professional for more than 30
years. When we worked together at PictureTel, you were on screen every day
with 30 video cameras aimed at you in your QA lab!

Your satellite antennas and rotor are living quite the second life in their
retirement down here in Sudbury, MA. QSOs just yesterday with stations
around US, Europe and Asia via IO-117 (digipeater) and JO-97 (analog
transponder).
