Ham Radio Equipment for Xmas?

[Ham4CW]

Hi all

I was just sitting here thinking about the 'big day' (December 25th of course!), and wondering if anyone here will be receiving any nice goodies from Santa?

Personally I'm waiting for Santa to deliver a TenTec 1253 receiver kit (which was 'kidnapped' by my XYL as soon as she spotted it when I brought it home, and has convinced herself that SHE HAS GOT ME the ideal present!)

So does anyone else have any goodies awaiting them at the North Pole, or will it be socks and neck ties again!

Hiya Jerry

Wow, an FT-450! Any chance your xyl could put in a good word for me too?

I remember one Xmas here where my xyl told me that she had got me five extra surprises! So, not wanting to let her down I rushed out and spent an absolute fortune on her, thinking that she had done the same for me. WRONG!

My 'surprises' consisted of a toothbrush, some deodorant, a bar of soap in the shape of a teddy bear, some socks and a comb!

The rest of that Christmas was VERY quiet in our household
