Hi all,
Didn't see a new member's area so thought I'd post up here. Feel free to move this post to where it belongs if need be. Thought I'd introduce myself as I'm new here. Heard about this forum over at oausa.net where I'm known as BlueFJ. Looking forward to enjoying this forum!:)

Thanks folks,
No kidding, thick skinnedness is well needed on the internet... I'm a subscriber to the adage that arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics... :eek::D:D:D

Fine Business!
Just stay away from talk of guns and religion!
Should you choose to stray into the Political Junkies section then a sturdy pair of hip waders is in order as well as a large shovel.
Have fun!

Welcome to the oracle...

And yes, Political Junkies is truly much worse than 75 meters late at night.

If you're a newbie, you may find some of the other forums here more useful. This one tends to go to discussions of people's flatulence, and similar afflictions. Talk and Opinions is usually entertaining as is Questions and Answers.

In case they didn't tell you, being the new guy you have to buy 9MAV an Elecraft radio. Sorry, it is the rule.

Let us not forget the taboo of CW, CB Radio and WinLink in Rag Chew either.

Yea, I remember how friggin cold it could get. Don't think I could take it anymore. My blood has thinned after being in Southern California for 24 years. I do miss snowmobiling tho'. And the bars... oh yea, that's all there is to do in the winter other than snowmobiling, and you can bar hop on a snowmbile!:D
