[Elecraft] "Kool-Aid" -- was "2m Module"

[David Toepfer]

Kool-Aid is a pre-mixed powder packet of artificial flavor an artificial colour to which you add sugar and water and drink (i think in England it's called a squash). It's something people used to give their children to drink instead of water before 2 litre bottles of soda pop became so cheap that people started buying that in unhealthy quantities instead.
