    'Twas the Night Before Field Day

    Thanks to Neil W2NDG for this timely poem. All who checked in to the '8:35 on the 805' QSO appreciate his creativity.


    'Twas the night before field day, on one four six eight oh five

    not a member was stirring, as if no one was alive

    The tents, tables and chairs, were ready to go

    In hopes that some volunteers, would happen to show 

    The hams were nestled all snug in their shacks

    where pictures of transceivers hung from thumbtacks

    Me with my ICOM and the XYL with a Kenwood

    Had just settled down for some sleep if we could

    When on the repeater, there arose such a clatter

    I ran to my rig, to see what was the matter

    Away to my shack, I flew for the win

    Turned up the volume, and settled right in

    It was then that I heard him

    Tapping out code on a key

    Our fearless leader

    K2JLV

    He switched to voice and raised it up high

    On Paul, on Kenny, on Mike on John

    On Dave, on Kate, on Zina, on Lon

    On Alan, on Doc, on Ethan, on Bob

    On Guy, on Nick, on Joe and on Rob

    On Neil, On Neil, On Neil, On Neil, On...

    REPEATER TIME OUT
