When I'm out of the shack in the mornings, she listens to all the morning local AM broadcast band swap shops on the 940 Kenwood. In fact, she likes the Kenwood....of the hundreds of rigs I've run over the years, the 940 is the only one she's ever taken an interest in or liked. But, when the swap shops are over with, it's just another of my many POS radios.
Norma retired in 2001, so feels she has earned the privilege of farting around with all her free time; whereas, I haven't retired so it's her opinion I should keep my nose to the grindstone.
Two more years and I can tell her to pound salt.
