NoGa boating headquarters. |
John, AB4GK, looking for Pickett's antenna wire. |
"Come over here John and I will let you unwind this pull cord" |
"See you can't use the EZ-Hang (tm) winder with the fragile cardboard
core" |
"I think I have the wire but I can't hold on to this little bitty tree"
|
"Here we go; just a little bit of NoGaEnGiNeeRinG" |
"I'll bring you the end of the antenna Pickett...! WHOOPSIE..!" |
"That's funny; I got this EZ-Hang (tm) to work last time without any
instructions. |
"NO, NO.. Don't let go of your end. I swear Sam Billingsley told me that
this antenna would work" |
"I know you can't see the display or the S meter but I am conserving my
internal battery" |
"Oh my gosh; here comes that guy making the big wake again..!" |
"You are right; get the sling shot ready" |
"Just a little closer now; we want to show you what a yellow sinker looks
like..!" |
"Do you really think those peanuts will increase your "Q"
count..??" |
"Waddya mean tight, Mike Boatright said that curve acts like a parabolic
reflector." |
Tom: "I brought the green wire today to match the Spring foliage. I use
the brown wire in Winter. Mike Branca told me that a color coordinated antenna gets
out better.!" |
Pickett: "I think John has the antenna now Tom so go ahead and slam it into
reverse" |
"Do we go right or left of that big island??" |
"What island..?" |
"Wow; that boat dock must have cost more than my cottage..!" |
"No Tom; I'm not giving you any more directions..!" |
"All of this shore line looks the same from the water" |
"Didn't we come by here 20 minutes ago..?" |
"See Tom; I told you what a bear does in the woods" |
"I told you we should have gone to the left" |
"Give us this day our daily bread; and help us get back to the boat club" |
