[Elecraft] DZOTA: Dead Zones On The Air

[Fred Jensen]

It's caused by the excess of fruitcake in MN. All the fruitcake 
[chemical symbol Fc] in the universe was created at the Big Bang, along 
with a lot of hydrogen [H] and some Helium [He].  It is governed by the 
well-known Conservation of Fruitcake law ... you cannot destroy it, 
however you can give it away.  It and aluminum foil [Rw] have a mutual 
affinity for each other.  For reasons still unknown, it tends to 
accumulate in the upper midwest.  Fruitcake absorbs electromagnetic 
radiation very well and is probably the cause of your dead zone.
