    artist and dear friend Stephanie Dolce who has since passed away. She was also a ham radio operator and drew
    this image before she actually met me in person. She heard me doing this over the air, and thought the visual
    of me keying the mic with my toes was funny. I guess it was. I never realized it until she showed this to me.
    It's here to remember her great since of humor, and her wonderful spirit. Heere's some of my tunes:
