Surprised by generous and kind act

#bitx40

Robert D. Bowers All Messages By This Member #59047 Today I was greatly and pleasantly surprised.? I'd mentioned that I was thinking about converting my BITX20 to 40 meters, and I'd related some stories of frustration with the local ham community (generosity and willingness to help others seems to be a rarity in this area). When I got our mail, there was a package in it - with a BITX40!? The housing it was in is very attractive as far as my wife and I are concerned - and perfect for our car.? The neat part was that you could see the circuitry in it - and the case also would lend itself to portable operation! I won't embarrass the sender, but I will say it came from another state.? For many years, I've insisted that there was no such thing as Karma... but this suggests otherwise! To the sender (not named) - a big Thank you! from both of us, and (laugh) no worry about "paying forward" - we do things all the time like that, whenever we can (we may not have much money, but we do have skills and knowledge we share).? Generosity and helping others is not a big price for gifts like this - in our opinion!

Robert D. Bowers All Messages By This Member #59124 开云体育 Total agreement here.? Amateur radio - elmering, helping each other out, and so on - there used to be a code of conduct, which is a good thing. ? I think it's still published and in the handbook, but I rarely hear anyone mention it.
