You live in Texas, you wear a vest and your a agitator?

I crack me up sometimes.... sorry Tx!

Mine are my initials and my son's birthday, Nov. 17.

Unlike some of the more creative screen names on here, mine is pretty simple, I carry two XDs and I'm a gal. Love my XDs! And, like wo5m, and K5NRA ( was that random or by choice? ) , I'm a radio operator, too. KE5KMS.

By choice of course! I rewarded myself when I made Extra.

[GrillKing]

I like to cook. On the grill. Nothing beats a good, thick, porterhouse and a baked potato....

[jimlongley]

First user name I ever had, from back in the very beginning; when Al Gore first invented the internet. When bulletin boards, DOS commands, and 4 color monitors were all new and exciting.

Yes, I am old. And, as I am old and tired, I have not been able to expend any precious energy thinking up a new and clever name. So, here I am. First initial, middle initial, last name.

Ah! SO you are from back when Bill Gates said no one would ever need more than 640k of memory? I can still remember running everything from 5.25 in. floppies and what would I do with a 10 meg HD.

640(Heck), I remember when 64 was all that could be addressed. Until I moved back to TX I had 8 inch floppy drives in the basement waiting for me to hook them back up SINGLE DENSITY!!! And I could tell you stories about communicating in Morse Code.

Back when a baud MIGHT actually equal a bit, and when 300 bps modems were a step up in bit rate.

I'm not a ham, but I do some SWL now and then. Dad was a railroad telegraph operator and taught me a little bit of RR Morse, which is an entirely different animal!

If you turn my screen name upside down it resembles my first name in lower case and last initial capitalized. O6nop = dougO for those who don't want to turn their monitor upside-down

Cool! A fitting reward for a worthy accomplishment. See you on the radio!

[Thane]

Thane is my middle name. Because it's so distinctive, I can get away with using it on most forums without someone else grabbing it first.

When that does happen, though, I use JSThane.

[Rugrash]

Rugrash was the name of a local Houston band back in the mid 90's or so. It was a couple of members from another one of my favorite bands "Sprawl". They were more of a side project and was only around for one album.

I use Rugrash as my name in Battlefield 2 & 2142 as well as alot of other games that have come and gone over the years.

Middle name is unique. Is the avitar a real closeup too?

I was a member of the Morse Telegraph Club for many years, a close friend was the international secretary, and was (emphasis on WAS) learning American Morse, but got lost at 'C'
