This is a great essay full of nostalgia and I can’t help but think about my own adventures in computing when I read it.

With the Indiana HOA bill passing, it's worth asking why ARRL doesn't lobby state legislators. Even just a handful of states could cover a broad group of hams. CA, AZ, FL alone would get a lot of retirement communities.

My fear of heights has gotten real.

10 years ago I had no trouble climbing up on the roof to get my 2m/70cm antenna set up. Today I attempted to get up there to move the antenna for the new roof being installed later this week and just couldn't do it.

Thankfully the roofers are willing to move it, but what a bummer.
