[Boatanchors] Ohms Law

[Carl]

First time I ever saw those was when I was 14. A friend of my dads lived a 
few blocks away and was an OT ham and ran a pair at a "KW" on 20M CW only. 
Cant remember the call but he was a well known LINY DXer in the 50's and 
used a SX-28A and 3 el yagi.

Anyway they operated at a bright white and it wasnt until years later that I 
found out what a pole pig was (-;
