[Elecraft] abject buffoonery

[Ray Sills]

Hi Brendon:

Well, to quite Charles Dickens from “A Tale of two Cities”:


"	• It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”

In other words, just like 200 years ago, just like today.

Good conversations can be found anywhere.  The only reason I don’t operate 75 these days is because my HOA would not take kindly to me stringing up a permanent dipole.  Don’t let the naysayers get you down… even if you encounter some doofbats on the air.
