Hey I forgot about that... I did do a RAOK, where’s my friggin’ lollipop?
Oh, no...wait a minute. I think you said it best, you gave me that radio and then I sent you that scanner. That’s premeditated so it’s not random.
hey riverman we both did our RAOK, were IS our lollipops?
But i gave that layfayette base to another guy who asked,i said pay baggage n its yours
Sadly, this idea/thread turned out to be the biggest waste of space since, well, you know.
Some ideas take time to root.
Stony soil.
Some RAOK are (and will be) anonymous in nature.
“ . . but when you (do an act out of kindness), let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that your giving may he in secret”
We were taught it’s the act of kindness — not the recognition —which is our store in Heaven.
So, wordsmith, pithily reconcile the two, please.
Unstopper the bottle.

I’ve met up with two (2) drivers of my long acquaintance where calling it coincidence doesn’t cover the odds on both of us hundreds of miles from home and neither going out-of-route.
Latest was last week. A pair of toroid chokes made from my spares bag for either end of the coax. A few ferrite beads to scatter over the rest.
Result: An Anytone 6666 got kind of a tuned-up system to play with.
A guy who can run harder than me. But lost 60-days last year after a heart attack. Two weeks after his wife’s.
Skip now viable. Sideband now a regular thing to check. Hard to resist testing a performance check once done.
How’s the radio kaffeeklatsch in your neighborhood?’

Read any thread and it's pretty evident that we members don't always agree.
But one thing I think most of us can agree on is that doing something nice for someone else feels really good. Like many, I sometimes pay for my meal and the person's behind me in a fast-food drive-thru. It's not much; usually an extra five or six dollars, but that's a cheap price to pay for spreading joy.
On that note, I propose we members perform Random Acts of Kindness for each other. Here's how:
Most likely many of you have ham or CB equipment lying around that you are not using for one reason or another and have no plans for. And there's probably someone somewhere who could really use it. So how about listing it in the Ham or CB Swapshop for shipping cost only? Or for free. A length of coax. Some connectors. A homemade antenna. Anything related to the hobby. New or used. Big or small. You'll be cleaning out your clutter and making someone's day at the same time. Can't beat that!
I suggest typing RAK in the title so readers will know it's a Random Act of Kindness listing.
Sometime today I'll kick it off with one of my own.
Thanks, everybody. Have a great day!

I like to call it pay it forward, I have paid for the person behind me in a drive through a few times...yup good feeling for sure.
Every weekend since this chink virus started,ive taken time to get a blind couples grocerys.they have many health issues. Their healthcare worker quit n non are wanting to risk emselves to help the needy. Ive never asked a dime in return.
I just wish others would help those in need also.
Someday YOU MIGHT BE NEXT IN NEED
