Hi Joe,
Thought you would like this one ... but they let him out later!
Boy it is great to be home again even after such a fantastic trip. The
recent events in Bali re-in force our feelings. Mind you it was not an 
un-eventful 28 hours getting home! Our bags are still glowing in the dark 
from all the X-raying. An over enthusing security guard at OKC is probably 
looking for another job and the VK recipients were given a first class upgrade
for his digression .. but that is another story! It must be that damm 
Black Hat ?? The final straw was right here in Melbourne as we were 
about to enter the real world a but yet another frisking and bag X-Ray etc
. This time my Black Hat did not come out the other end of the X-Ray machine. 
When I proceeded to crawl into the chute I caused a slight ruckus .. and that 
ended our holiday on a memorable note! On a more serious note .. mind you that 
was serious at the time .. I have been flat out trying to get the place sorted 
out with hours on the tractor, mending fences and the like. Killed our
first 4' brown snake along side the house yesterday so hopefully his mates
will get the message we are home again!!?? I managed to fire (not a good word) 
up the 432 MHz gear and it still goes ok so I am ready for the Contest next 
weekend. I will be (as usual) around 432.018 or out chasing!  ..... Please some 
more activity from NA  Please .... Re my pending 1296 activity as reported. 
I will do my best but I have a hell of a lot of priority work to do this Spring 
and Summer to catch up. Very best regards to all
Doug (VK3UM)
