[OZAPRS] HF APRS 09

[Rob Heyer]

Hi John,
All the best for the new year.
 
Have been working, start nights tomorrow.
 
The workplace is running down hill, no one there, only coke ovens, blast furnace and the BOS.
 
Phill's mob had to take leave, no orders, we might be in deep brown snow!!

Hi Ray, I'll be listening out for you but I may be too close.  I was going 
to ask a similar question myself.

One of the reasons politicians try so hard to get themselves re-elected,
           because they couldn't live under the laws that they have passed!
