  1. Why do I get the impression that the air you breathe comes from inside your head?

    I have an extra license but I never get into the hobby. We have the internet where we can have conversations with ACTUAL CONTENT, not always but it happens :)

  3. My Father was a HAM. K4pdx. He had the collins-S Line stuff. 1k watt amp, the works. 50 foot Antenna. Worked 20 meters mostly.

    That was when I was 8-10. I use to go out and turn it on and listen to whatever I could find.

    He had the WAS and almost the WAC certificates.

  4. Why don't you avoid posting unless you have something reasonable to say?

  5. Simple truth is he got snubbed yet for some reason you can't see that.

    You need to work on your cognitive skills.

    The people standing in line are members of the US delegation, and Obama is making the introductions. Why would Obama be shaking hands with his own delegation? Or why, if the people standing in line were Russians, would Medvedev be shaking their hands while introducing them to Obama?
    The first person being introduced seems to be Philip H. Gordon, assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Also notice the lapel flag pin, clearly seen on the gentleman wearing spectacles in the video and also on another member of the delegation in the yahoo news photo.

    Obama seems to have an awkward handshake , it seems others are not picking up on it. It must be because he used to giving high-fives
