I'M OFF THE AIR FOR A WHILE

I agree the truckers were a better cut back in the day....but there were still a few crazy truckers out there....we were on a family vacation traveling down the interstate back in the late 60s.....we got boxed in by a bunch of semi's that seemed to be pissed off at each other.....they ran us off the road.....this was my mom n dad and all my siblings...we were terrified.
 
I am very sorry to hear about your accident. I wish there was something I could do for you. I recently bought a used radio for a veteran on another forum who also had to sell equipment due to not being able to work. I wish I could do that for you as well, but I just can't afford to buy another one right now. As I did for him, I'll say a prayer for you and hope for a fast recovery.
 
I thank you all. Driver never stopped but a roadway driver behind me stopped and called 911 and stayed with me until my wife and ambulance got there. I will never ride again as my daughter crying last night while we looked at pictures of my bike asked me " Dad what would happen if you died?" She is 11 and from my 1st marriage. I have full custody. I told her not to think like that and I don't plan on going anywhere.....Later I cried thinking of what could have been.
 
Hope u recover well. Stay with your familys suggestions.
One close call like that,its not worth it anymore. It could happen
anytime. Its not your fault, just the idiots that can't drive, use bad judgement
or don't care. Hope they get caught.

Good luck bamm bamm. kelso from TX

    I will not be there but hopefully by the end of this month I will have my New tower and antennas back in the air including my M2 6M5X. The old tower and all of my antennas came down in October 2023 during a Hurricane.
