[Boatanchors] Wouff Hong for sale Scam

[manualman at juno.com]

Every century, and for that matter every decade, has it's thing. "Wouff
Hong  or rettysnitch" are nothing more then labels with crude physical
symbols dreamed up by one person 80 years ago. I see no reason why
amateurs would have to pay any significance or remembrance to a set of
dopey labels conceived 80 years ago. People spend too much time living in
the past. 

An "Elmer" might be Elmer Fudd. A "Mentor" label has far more
significance and respect.

Receiving signal reports like "treetop tall" or  "you're wall-to-wall"
make me feel good.
