[Elecraft] Crystals and ARC5s

[Fred (FL)]

On the acid type subject  :)

In my very very early days, I worked in a gas station.
It was my first night, to work alone.  Boy such
confidence they have in me!

In walks a gentleman, and he asks ".... I need my
car battery charged, and there it is, over there by
the door".  Sort of a serious looking, mature
customer.

I look over at his battery, and it was visibly smoking
or venting some sort of fumes?  Hmmmmmm?

"What is wrong with your car battery?" I asked.  
Nothing, I just refilled it with brand new
Hydrochloric Acid, from the drug store.  It needs
charging now!  "I think they use a Sulphuric Acid
solution, Sir".    "NO - hydrochloric acid"
he says -- I then referred him to my boss, the
station's owner. 

He wasn't a happy customer!  We seemed to often
get these crazy customer requests, which I later
learned seemed to come with the territory.
