cold the bottom of the world is, according to Ethan's .signature, so I told

So cold ... the temp froze to Ethan's server.
Ethan may still be in the US now.
I am indeed in the US, so I don't run the .sig program that taps the NPX WX.
It happened to be approx -12F in Central Ohio last night and -14F at
South Pole FWIW.
Was -24F here in Saint Paul, MN yesterday morning. The TV weather guys
love to demonstrate pounding in a nail with a frozen banana.
I'm ARO N0JCF but I was into computing long before radio. Built one of
the first Motorola MEK6800-D1 eval kits in 1975 but didn't get my ham
license until 1988.
I have yet to meet Miss Piggy but I think I may have seen her at the
grocery store the other day.
