[Waverley ARS] VK2FNRD

[Jim Ayling]

Congratulations Adam VK2FNRD.  Welcome to the fraternity, we look forward to hearing you on-air soon. 

I certainly, am not one of those who would know what Fnord is. 

I may never have needed to know but my curiosity prompted me to "Google It" and according to Wikipedia:-

            "Fnord is the typographic representation of disinformation or irrelevant 
             information intending to misdirect, with the implication of a conspiracy". 

So now we all know though may be none the wiser.  
Eddie of course would have recognised the implied conspiracy!

Congratulation also Adam on the quality of the photos you shared from the MV Cape Don.  Outstanding!

73s .......... Jim  VK2JA
