Teacup Cafe XXVIII

Welcome to the Teacup Cafe, our little corner of the Moot, where anything you want, and most things you don't, are always available.

Pull up a cushion and help yourself. Please try to keep your larger vermin under control.

Wecome home. Is there enough dry land to land a plane where you're going?

Ye gods, I simply loathe transatlantic flights. So miserable, so long, and last time the only video playing was a Mariah frickin' Carey concert. Sheeeeeesh....

By the way, everyone, avoid LOT! Way ghetto! Air Austria is good, though.

There should be enough dry land...Louisville is a decent sized city.

So far my flight is on time. I hope it stays that way. I can't bear the idea of spending much more time in the airport. I'm so exhausted I'm not sure how I'm keeping myself going, to be honest.

Hang in there. Louisville should be okay, not sure you could get into Davenport, IA.

Yeah, it looks like we're supposed to be getting that crazy weather soon, but not until I'm safely at home, I hope. I think it's supposed to hit the Louisville area tomorrow night.

Well, boarding is supposed to start in fifteen minutes or so, so I'd better put the computer away (battery is getting low anyway). So I'll talk to you all when I get home tonight!

That's good to hear!

Talk to you later!

Polish airline. They're the ones who gave us a Mariah Carey concert for our transatlantic viewing. The meal consisted of three or four pirogi.

Ye gods! I've been stuck listening to Prokofiev for over an hour! I need a nice cup of tea to recover; something strong and smoky, I'd think.

Wow! #28. Not bad.

My fiance made the comment about me spending a couple of hours on the Moot. I told him to make an account when he got his Internet back up. Of course I told him I had to have my Moot time.


How is everything?

No, they're not my antennas. Those are for the six meter band, and their roof mounted.
Problems with them being mine:
1. I don't operate on six meters at this time. I currently use two meter, and very soon I'll use 70 centimeters. Six meters is lower frequency than I can legally (and care) to operate at this time.
2. They're roof mounted, and although my 2 meter Yagi is meant to be roof mounted, I prefer to keep it portable. I've rigged up a video camera tripod so I can carry it around and set it up at Starbucks or whatever, or I can hold it in my hand (recieving a negligible electric shock every time I press the PTT button on my radio) and walk down the street with it.
It's kind of a funny sight, because it's about the size of the one in the picture, with one less "element", or cross-bar.

You really ought to see what your country's equivalent of the amateur radio service is. That goes for all of you! We can all talk using IRLP through our local repeaters.
