For some of you, it wouldn't be Christmas without A Ham's Night Before Christmas. So string the lights and put up the tree: I wrote... er, stole this poem in 1996. The original was titled A Visit from St. Nicholas, by the way, not T'was the Night Before Christmas. Over the years I added an audio recording, then music, then made the video. The whole story and a few other versions are available at this HamRadioNow Episode. There's a version without music that you can play on a repeater, and text so you can read it yourself. You don't have to ask in advance: permission granted. 73, ho ho ho, Gary K4AAQ
Hijinks! I've a copy of the early-1970s, 'Nam era US Navy Radioman Watch "night before..." RM squids out there, email me, and I'll send you an Adobe PDF.
Gary - Many thanks for sharing your creativity. I so enjoyed this. 73, Uncle Dee K7UD (Kilo 7 Uncle Dee)
