Tämä on minusta ihan hyvä:
>Diese wertvollen Ausführungen von Barry Williams wurden mir 
>freundlicherweise von Kai Ludwig zugestellt, obwohl in Englisch will ich 
>diese allen Lesern nicht vorenthalten. Und ganz grundsätzlich zu manchen 
>Beiträgen der letzten Tage: Kurzwelle hören ist ein HOBBY!

>DXers should be aware that there are signs that indicate you are 
>approaching
>old age, or whether it is too late you're there !!
>
>The warning signs are when:
>
>(1) You still refer to kilocycles instead of kilohertz.
>
>(2) You keep an extra pair of glasses to find the spare ones - and lose 
>them
>both.
>
>(3) You start saying "I remember the days you could hear 250 watt Yanks on
>1490 kilocycles".
>
>(4) You can't see the numbers on the dial of the receiver too well.
>
>(5) Sitting in front of your radio is your daily exercise.
>
>(6) You now get the grandson to climb the tree to hang the antenna wire.
>
>(7) You log the station but never get around to writing the reception 
>report.
>
>(8) You can remember first hearing of Kennedy's assasination over the VoA.
>
>(9) You blame the earphones when you can't hear the station ID properly.
>
>It's too late! You are there when:
>
>(1) You don't need an alarm clock to get up to DX - you're awake all 
>night.
>
>(2) Your wife finds you sitting in front of the receiver - without the set
>turned on.
>
>(3) Your wife finds you in front of the set with your head on the table -
>asleep!
>
>(4) You don't know any of this month's "Top 40", but can remember those 
>of the
>1940s.
>
>(5) You can remember the first Empire Broadcast over the BBC.
>
>(6) The alarm wakes you up at 3 in the morning - and you spend the rest 
>of the
>morning wondering why you set the alarm.
>
>(7) Your hearing aid costs more than your communications receiver.
>
>(8) You know all the answers to DXing in the 30s, but there's no one left 
>to
>ask the questions.
>
>(9) A collection of vintage radios is younger than you are.
>
>(10) You can't remember whether you have heard the station before, even 
>though
>you logged it yesterday.
