Every year I get asked what I want for Christmas.  Apparently this is a hard thing, as I’m a geek, and nobody knows quite what to buy me.  Seeing as most of the things I like to do are quite expensive (computers, amateur radio, techno-gadgets, etc.), I’m trying to keep my list of things practical and simple this year. Nobody needs to be buying expensive gifts in a down-turning economy, and I do not need another single gadget!

So here ya go:

1. Business socks! (Yes, really!)
2. Pair of business slacks or Dockers (44×32)
3. P1 or P2-Jr key from www.k8ra.com (Ok, this is expensive…)
4. Polo-style (Golf) shirts (XXL)
5. New aluminum frying pan (NOT non-stick) from Sam’s or Costco
6. Some casuals (sweats) for hanging around the house.  (XXL)
7. A small kitchen gadget is always nice…  Maybe a new set of measuring spoons or cups.  Not that I use the ones I have all that often!
8. “Basic Antennas” from the American Radio Relay League.  Or from R & L Radios.
