[Elecraft] Type "N" connectors

[KJ3D]

Hi Sam,

I wouldn't call anyone a liar either, but I remember an instructor at
Destroyer School (also Navy) telling us how to handle a misfire on 5 inch
guns.  He said - and I'm not making this up - that if the barrel is hot, we
should NOT attempt to cool it off by hosing it down with cold water from the
fire hoses as that would drive the heat in and perhaps cook-off the misfired
round.

I'm sure this guy had not majored in physics, and probably had never studied
thermodynamics.  He was simply parroting what his gunnery instructor had
told him.

That's how misconceptions take on an air of authenticity over time.

73, Tom

I

friction contact is better than soldered connections............

guess my Navy electronics teacher with his 20+ years of experience was a
liar, but I'll let ya'll tell him that, I wouldn't dare, I value my life
more than that.
