CANADIAN GOOSE STEPPER IS NO SAINT

Ham Radio has a Patron Saint!

I wonder how many of us are aware we indeed seem to have a Patron Saint?

During the WW2 German occupation of Poland, a Ham radio Priest, Maximilian Kolbe, SP3RN, was arrested by the Germans.

The Germans believed his amateur radio activities were somehow involved in espionage, and Kolbe was transferred to Auschwitz on May 28, 1941.

After some prisoners escaped in 1941, the Germans ordered that 10 prisoners be killed in retribution.

Father Kolbe was martyred when he volunteered to take the place of one of the condemned men.

On October 10, 1982, Kolbe was canonized by Pope John Paul II as Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Apostle of Consecration to Mary, and declared a Martyr of charity.

Kolbe is now considered the Patron saint of Amateur radio operators.

So, while some Poles became martyrs, others sold their souls to the Nazis, and then emigrated to Canada after the war.

You can hear their offspring to this day. Just tune in to 14.275 and point your antenna toward an island on the west coast of Canada, just north of Seattle.

Listen for an obscene fellow named Karol. If you pay attention, it's easy too hear him goose-stepping around in his little attic shack, not very far from the offices of Industry Canada.

RCMP and Karol Again huh? Figures.

Sorry about the absence and not updating the page. Had to do some maintenance around the house like painting and such and haven't been paying attention much. Been working a lot of cw on 80 meters and bands have been pretty good!

Reading ve7kfm.com it looks like old Karol up in Saanich, BC may be in some trouble again. The article mentions something about stalking, extortion, and vandalism. Oh my! This isn't the first time rcmp have been in intersted in ve7kfm. Seems I remember his saying they've been to his place quite a bit in the last few years.

Also reading where that nutcase Mark has been sending out fake sos calls again and getting his own visits from cops or sheriffs or what have you. Couldn't happen to a nicer person. Got an email from Stan saying somebody discovered Mark had a little trip to the nut hatch back in 2004. Got the info from one of those freedom of information sites the government runs. Now theres a surprise huh?

Now if old potty mouth Karol in British Columbia wants to stalk somebody, why is he stalking another mans wife? Can't he find a woman of his own? Guess I answered my own question there, Hi Hi.

Maybe the potty mouth fruitcake will have better luck with a fcc under the Obama administration. But, maybe not. Obama will be too tied up with the car companies and bailing out rich bankers to notice a failure and ham radio crackpot up in Canada. What a deal, eh? Like I always say, You Cain't Fix Stupid!
