Electric City

Took a drive down to the Electric City,
Kenwood 2 meter mobile transceiver unit
at 146.420MHz and a .5w input SMC-30 mic check.
Non-ionizing radiation and beef jerky check,
well-studied and half-assed check.

CQ CQ CQ this is Blackwater,

do you copy? Over.

We met the hams,
we took the ham test,
we shook the ham hands,
we became ham-handed hams in hand.

Impedance and resistance, Ohm I God!

They radiated in from far and wide,
curiosity frequencied at the speed of light.
They said hello with their mouths,
said who is trying to join our club with their eyes.

They wanted us,
They wanted anybody,
They needed anybody.
They reveled in showing us their ARES station-
I owe them this - it was awesome.

We left the Electric City as licensed Technician Operators,
with a hundred dollar tab at the Sip n' Dip.

Mission accomplished,

Over and Out.
