We've got to put up a sign ENGLISH ONLY, next time. Two of the guests
spoke a language I don't think I ever heard before, and I've heard a lot.
I put them back in listening without saying anything, trying to get
something about BOATS into the conversation, which wasn't too successful.

We'll call it BOATING, or something like that next time. I'm afraid I'm
not much of a talkshow host...(c; They used to let me FIX the
microphones, but not get to near them when they were on the air...hee
hee. They ALWAYS let me fix the transmitters and antenna because the on-
air "talent" was deathly afraid of electrocution, something us engineers
fed by walking into the studio with lit florescent tubes not connected to
anything or by making a big arc jump out of the antenna phasing
network....(c; NONE of "them" would go down into the basement where the
cabling was buzzing away...hee hee.

After killing the group, I checked into that Tokyo ham radio conference
and made friends with the host. I've been on his radio repeater system,
before on a similar, but simpler chat conference just for ham radio
licensees called Echolink.

Too bad none of the rest of the cruisers on here showed up. I'd like to
meet them and hear their voices....(sigh)....
