KC2UFO 2012 End of World Special Event
Greetings from KC2UFO for what TV "cosmologists" and
"historians" have proclaimed to be the Mayan prophesy of the end of life as we
know it.
We at KC2UFO never dispute prophesies or alien reports [well,
almost never] so we are just going to roll with it. And by "roll with it," we
mean have some fun and if the Mayans are better at predicting our end than
theirs, then at least we all had a good time with our pals.
It wasn't just the Mayans, of course. Some people cite John the
Revelator, Inca and Nostradamus predictions. Although NASA says that we are not
cosmologically threatened, we did have an asteroid pass between
earth and the moon just last week, and no one saw it coming!
Maybe the take-away of all this is we should treat the earth a
little kinder, and each other as well. Pretty good for an old prophet,
eh?
We were having continued software problems {sigh} but the good
news is your calls should be up by this evening, if not before. Please
don't hammer the server: We will announce when the certificates are ready
on the air and/or you can try again later this evening. If you absolutely
can't wait or you know everything is crashing around you, print a SWL
Certificate with your callsign [and EQSL below for your confirmation.] Our
LinuxGenius promises all will function tonight. Before the world
ends. We hope.
Anyway: For your certificates, turn off headers &
footers in your browser's printer setup program [check print preview] unless you
want them printed on the certificate. The certificates print most reliably using
portrait rather than landscape, especially in Internet Explorer. Other browsers
tend to shrink things, so you may be able to use landscape. Again, use the ole
Print Preview to see what is really going to come out of your printer.

73, from all of us here at KC2UFO. Lets hope that this is not the LAST
QSO!
