u Larry’s List subscribers:
This video is really worth watching…
I realize that this is a bit of a digression from the amateur radio topic. There are many senior citizens who are subscribers to
Larry’s List, who may appreciate this video too. Our daughter-in-law is a native Japanese, so this plus my own memory (I
was 10 in 1941) of the war makes this even more special to me.

ARRL Honary Vice President Bruce KØBJ
Orlan, I had a great time attending the Pordenone Italy hamfest, computer and car stereo
fair. I had been to this event in 2012, and they invited me back for their 50th fair this April. I
spent two days in Tuscany with my friend IZ5DKJ and family, then met IV3TDM and
IV3VSC. These OMs took me to the Ferrari museum, the city of Modena, the lake region
and Dolomite Alps, and we had a visit at the Begali key factory and lunch with I2RTF. I also
made short trips to Slovenia S5 and Croatia 9A.
The hamfest had about 30K attendance of which 3K were hams. I checked about 20
DXCC and WAS submissions totaling 1000+ cards.
The Italians are wonderful hosts, and know how to enjoy food and life.
Here is a link to my Italy photo album
https://plus.google.com/photos/111515057687619621489/albums/6137290690340222385?banner=pwa
and the Bagali factory trip
https://plus.google.com/photos/111515057687619621489/albums/6140302515675928865?banner=pwa
Pordenone's club call is IQ3PN and they had a special call for their 50th fair -- II3FPN
KC0BS arrived in Italy shortly after I returned home, attending a wedding and sightseeing not far from where the
hamfest was held. Too bad the timing didn't work for an eyeball QSO over there.
Here Is Orlan's ham friend Orlin KØOJ
Oj, Orlin who lives in Greeley, Colorado sent this to KAR to share an old old “film” on how crystals were
made for WWII. OJ is also a gud friend of Tom who writes KARs “Tom's Key Strokes”.
Subject: CRYSTALS GO TO WAR
Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 21:46:28 -0600
HOW CRYSTALS WERE MADE IN 1943. HOPE THIS WILL BE A GOOD ONE FOR KAR OC. I
HAVE NOT SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE. IF SO USE IT IN NEXT MONTHS. OJ

SILENT KEYS “SK”
u Orlan: Hope you get feeling better.
A ham from my home town of Hoxie became a silent key last week. K0MXU was know by his middle
name Allen. The Obit is below. I remember after I was first licensed in the late 70's I was visiting his
plumbing shop and saw this antenna made up of two copper helix coils. Allen said he had built this to
listen to Sputnik.
Obituary for Charles Neal
Charles “Allen” Neal passed away on Thursday, April 9, 2015, at the Hays Medical Center, Hays, Kansas,
at the age of 93. He was born March 3, 1922, in Sheridan County, Parnell Township, Hoxie, Kansas, to
Charles English and Nellie Anna (Shea) Neal. He attended Hoxie Grade School and graduated from
Sheridan Community High School with the class of 1940. He attended The University of Kansas for two
and a half years before enlisting in the Army.
While in the Army, he served as a radio repairman with the 1146th and 252nd Combat Engineer Battalion
in England, France, Holland, Belgium and Germany for 20 months. He installed, inspected, tested, and
repaired communications equipment. While serving in Germany, Allen met his future bride, Ingrid. It
took two long years for Allen to get her to the United States from her home in Berlin. When Ingrid
arrived in Hoxie, they were united in marriage on May 2, 1948.
In 1945, while stationed in Germany, Allen received a letter from his dad, Charles E. Neal, stating he had
an opportunity to buy the plumbing portion of Mickey Hardware. He asked his son to join him. Allen and
his dad made the purchase and started Neal Plumbing Shop. He was partners with his father until 1960
when his father retired. Allen continued, with Ingrid’s help, to own and operate Neal Plumbing Heating
and Air Conditioning for a total of forty-five years. On October 1, 1990 Allen and Ingrid retired and sold
the business.
Allen’s retirement did not slow him down. He enjoyed his hobbies of genealogy, photography, distance
running, and amateur radio. He took great pleasure in bird watching. Allen was a busy person and served
his community in many ways. He was Sheridan County Civil Defense Director, a storm spotter, volunteer
fire fighter, and EMT. He served on the Sheridan County Hospital Board. He was past president of the
Sheridan County Historical Society. He was also a member of the Friends of Cottonwood Ranch, Ham
Radio Operator Club, and Sheridan County Council on Aging. He represented Sheridan County on the
Northwest Kansas Area Transit Coordinating Council, and was involved in many other organizations.
Allen was a faithful member of the United Methodist Church of Hoxie. He was very involved and
instrumental in the video ministry of the church. He was a man with a kind spirit and loving heart.
Most of all, Allen loved and cherished his family. The quiet legacy this man left us can be seen in many
ways in the Hoxie community. As he and many others of his generation are quietly vanishing from the
plains of Kansas, it should be remembered that they helped form the foundation of this community.
Allen is survived by his son Norbert and wife Catherine of Elk City, KS; daughters, Karin Knight and
husband Jim of Aiken, South Carolina; Belinda Cullen and husband Patrick of Berryton, KS; and brother
Varlan Neal and wife Catherine of Oberlin, KS; sister, Mary Karnes of Hoxie, KS; grandchildren, Stacy
Winchester, Ryan Knight, and Neal Cullen; and great-grandchildren, Caroline and Bergen Winchester, and
Kane Cullen.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Ingrid; parents Charles and Nellie (Shea) Neal; brothers, James
and William Neal; and sister, Ruby Holmes.
Finally, like good ground wave propagation, Allen’s life and legacy extend way beyond the horizon of his
own life to the generations that follow. His radio call sign, K0MXU has signed off for now, but his love and
memories will transmit forever in our hearts until we meet again.
Donations may be made to the United Methodist Church of Hoxie or the Sheridan County Health Complex
and may be sent in care of Mickey-Leopold Funeral Home, P.O. Box 987, Hoxie, Kansas 67740. Online
condolences may be left at www.mickeyleopoldfuneral.com.

u An old geezer, who had been a retired farmer for a long time, became very bored and decided to open a
medical clinic. He put a sign up outside that said: Dr. Geezer's clinic. "Get your treatment for $500, if not cured
get back $1,000."

HA- HA - HA - HA - HA
u Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would
be a great opportunity to get $1,000.
So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.
This is what transpired.
Dr. Young: --- "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth." can you please help me ??
Dr. Geezer: --- "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."
Dr. Young: --- Aaagh !! -- "This is Gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor Young: "Oh no you don't, -- that is Gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see !!!!
Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so -- " Here's your $1000 back."
Dr. Young: "But this is only $500..."
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."
Moral of story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an old "Geezer " !!!!

u Just an add to the lightning info: Overwhelmingly, more gear is damaged by "zorches" up the POWER LINES
than via antennae. It's good to unhook the "skywires", but UNPLUG that stuff from the mains too. Down where
my place is, we DO have quite a bit of sparky stuff, and being at 6,320 msl, the air density is less, so it's more
frequent, as well!

u Many of us occasionally pull a trailer, and having just had an interface-jack and brake-controller installed on
my '02 Toyota Tundra... AND discovering that the morons who installed it didn't wire it correctly, I did some
research into proper connections and wire colors, related thereto. One will notice that the function-connection
pin-locations remained the same, but the newer SAE-32863 standard switched the wire colors. I thought this
might help somebody avoid what I went through.
so - I put together a couple of docs with the proper coding - for reference only - available from Tom (see his
email address below).
The information URL I based the ‘word’ documents upon is:
