Tony and Steve - thanks again guys! You are both toooo kind!

Steve, I guess the "artsy fartsy" in me extends to hamming too. Ha Ha. For any of you who love the old "Xmas Story" with Ralphie - I decided to do one substituting an antenna for the Red Ryder Range Model BB Gun. Featured the sound track from the Ralphie movie and a bit of the plot... Little did I know when I did up the video that I was about to promote several thousand bucks in sales to the designer of the antenna I featured. He was the first one to comment on the video when I posted it. Guess the news traveled fast all the way to his home in Brazil - he said "Thank you for the most beautiful Christmas gift that I could never imagine I would receive one day". I have heard from dozens of hams who bought this $300 antenna based on my "Ralphie the ham" video. Any who want a laugh at this old guy in an acting role - or who may wonder what you can do with 10 watts of power (considered ultra-low power and referred to as "QRP" in ham lingo) and a "hula hoop" antenna... here is the link to my "Ham Radio Xmas Story" video....
