[Elecraft] Off-topic: Musical composition

[James F. Boehner, MD]

OK,  I resisted as long as I could...

Dan already gave the punchline for "What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians?" Yes, a drummer...

But before we leave the oboe, "What is the better double reed instrument, the oboe or the bassoon?" The bassoon of course-it burns longer!

Just some musings from the trumpet section- And everyone knows how WE are! 😊.

Wayne, I'm going to take you up on your offer.  A shout out to ALL musicians in the Elecraft family!

'73 de Jim N2ZZ

Don’t get started on drummer jokes…or trombone or accordion or banjo . Seriously off topic! I will share my favorite at the risk of starting a thread…what’s the difference between an oboe and a Volkswagen? If you have to,really really have to…you can tune a Volkswagen 🤪

During this last field day I was running my KX3 and explaining to my logging assistants about pitch matching.The spot control does a good job,but sometimes I needed to tweak it to get in the other guys’ passband.  I can’t wait to use this on my K4,whenever that might arrive! Maybe we should start an Elecraft band… last year I was supposed to go to Spain and do some gigs and had planned to take the KX2…maybe next summer.
