Well, we shared a common ancestor with Australopithicus....and im sure ole "pithy" would be proud of us. And even further still, im sure theres a few creationists who will argue the "6000 year old earth" train of thought with you before this thread dies. Anyway, good for them for doing this to raise toys for kids, thats cool...a lot of preparation for this, lets hope that people remember what theyre trying to do for more than a week after its over. ...and i wonder why was this posted here?? they should know that this website is not a friendly place to post innocent tidbits of info or curiosity, lets face it, we are just plain not nice to eachother. Lets hope some of us can find some good in this venture and leave it at that, as intended. 73...Adam, N7YA
Well, most of the team members are hams, so that makes the event about as relevant to report on as the ISS.
For a minute, the English/Irish side of my heritage kicked in. I was thinking the record during the consumption of Guinness! In that case.... I have only gotten 13 hours in before I didn't care about RF and just wanted more of my libation! Jonathan
