I know of a husband/wife pair of hams hear. He says the same thing. He can call his head off, with no response. His wife's first call brings 'em running. Oh well, their loss. You'd be a blast to talk with!
You know, messages like, "I'm 2 hours out now can you have the fajitas coming off the grill when I drive up!!!" I got a good uncle! :-)
What time is that? I'm there!
