The Letter "V" ~~ Weekend Roundup and Reflections


The 48th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
(THE TWENTY-SECOND LETTER FOR THIS SERIES)
- the Letter "V" Prompts are:
(A) Starts with the Letter "V"; (B) A Favorite;
(C) "V" for '"V"ertical' (Tom's choice); and (D) Reflections.

PHOTO: I googled "valencia oranges spain" for results

(A) Starts with the Letter "V":  Valencia Oranges

(B) A FavoriteCandy for my Sweet Tooth, Christmas is approaching.

[An array of Vertical Antennas for sale]
 (C) "V" for '"V"ertical' (Tom's choice):  It's hard to guy a Vertical Antenna on the peak of a house top.  One year I did this with my 32 high foot aluminum Dipole but a strong wind blew it over.  

Where we live now according to deed restrictions I cannot erect any antenna attached to our property.  This is hard on Ham Radio Operators (Amateur Radio), hard for making emergency communications also.



(D) Reflections:  Mrs. Jim and I were outside the Pro Shop watching our granddaughter practice her putting in preparation for another Sunday afternoon kid's golf game.   I just happened to look into the shop window and saw this pretty golf course being Reflected.

My Two Questions (you can answer just one if you'd like):

1. What has been your experience with Citrus Fruit?   I cannot eat grapefruit because they interfere with taking Statins for my HIGH cholesterol situation..

2. What are your tastes in Candy?   I like Chocolate the best..

Bonus Questions:
1. What is your favorite "V" word"Victory", I like to win..
2. What are your experiences with Ham Radio Operators?"  I am a Ham Radio Operator with an "Extra Class License."  That is the highest class and had the most operating privileges', such as frequencies, power, ands modes of operation (example, Morse Code only on certain bands for some lower class ones.)   Each succeeding higher class, four common ones, have harder tests than the one below.  I started with the "Novice Class" which no longer exists back in 1960.

1. What has been your experience with Citrus Fruit? I can't have grapefruit either and for the same reason. I love oranges a lot.

2. What are your tastes in Candy? Chocolate with peanut butter. Yummy.

Bonus Questions:

1. What is your favorite "V" word? Victory for me too.

2. What are your experiences with Ham Radio Operators? Hubby has his license and it doesn't interest me at all. I do support him though and he's got all kinds of equipment.

Have a fabulous day and weekend. 😎
 
Citrus - love all of them.
Candy - not a big fan
V word - vino LOL
No experience at all with ham radio operators.
 
...I haven't had Valencia Oranges in ages, need to get some.
...those Hershey's Kisses look sweet.
...it doesn't seem that ham radio is as popular these days.
...I hope that your granddaughter has a lot of fun.
...I can't eat grapefruit either, always enjoyed it.
Thanks Jim for stopping by, I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving.
 
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
1. Citrus fruit - my favorite is an orange - juices tend to bother my stomach. but I can eat an orange.
2. Favorite candy - peanut butter and chocolate.
3. Favorite V word - Valiant - I think about staying strong.
4. My father in law was a terrific ham radio man. He loved it.

What a lovely picture of Mrs. Jim <3 I am a chocolate girl, definitely. There is one ham radio operator in the neighbourhood. I don't know him more closely, but the antenna is very high.
 
I like oranges, cannot eat grapefruit for same reason as yourself. Love chocolate but nowadays confine myself to one or two square of chocolate of at least 85 a day, Victory is a good word, I like being positive and I do not know any radio hams.Lovely reflection Jim. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
 
Good one.
 
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, Jim. We go to Mattapoisett, MA and spend it with all my cousins. There were 30 for dinner this year! I love Mounds candy bars and oranges and apples are probably my favorite fruit. Have a nice week!
