[Lowfer] The "Practitioner" revealed.. off topic but historical

Wed, 15 Jan 2003 06:26:47 -0500

Mike,

Thanks for explain the LOWFER intrepretation of the rules for me.  Like QRSS
I to am kind of slow.

See if any of the following makes sense...

To all those to Whom these presents come, Greetings

Be it known to all throughout the Realm that on the 3rd day of the month of
January in the year of our Lord 1993 at the Hour of 0375
as measured by the Royal Astronomers at the Royal Observatory in Greenwhich,
England, the Signal of the experimental Radio Beacon
known throughout the Realm as       "PC"     was Heard by a distinguished
"Practitioner of the Radio Arts who, as Luck would have it,
was located in the Shire of Roochester in the State of New Hampshire.

End direct quote.

Theres lots more but that should prime your memory.

Thanks. The font is "Tempus sans ITC" and we picked it because we felt that
it gave the proper "Olde northeast country" attitude.

Are you familiar with "Geocaching?" That is where a secret prize or treasure
is hidden at a published lat/lon and everyone makes a family trip out of
using the family GPS to find the box with the prize. You obviously did not
have the coordinates:

42.62730N
75.32198W

Normally, people could walk right under it and nver know it is there. With
the snows we have had there is a bigger danger of a deer taking a dump on
it.

> 2) Under house rules I saw no mention of the 1 watt input level limit?

I think the home page says that this is a "non-smoking" establishment.

Room #5 gives a good view of the loop. Room #3 has an excellent view of the
e-probe hanging in the tree. All rooms have wireless broadband internet
access.

> 4) Are you sure you don't remember who the "Practitioner" is?
I remember that Patric McGowan was "The Prisoner". Is that close?

The rat race is over.

The Rats won.

The strongest MEDfer signal I ever heard in my life.
