[RVRC] who says ham radio isn't entertaining?

Was tuning around, looking for either the Swan or Heathkit net about an 
hour ago, and stumbled on a great show on 14.295.

N4TAT was saying that his rig did not have a SWR meter, or that he 
"couldn't find it".  I couldn't hear the other guy, but N4TAT kept 
asking if he could give him a SWR reading on his (N4TAT's) signal. I 
guess the other guy must have given him grief, as N4TAT kept saying that 
he "couldn't understand what the problem was, all I need is my SWR 
reading."!

So then, I guess the other left to get a stiff drink, and N4TAT called 
CQ.  He was answered by K9JBM.  Now I don't know what was scarier, N4TAT 
asking him for the SWR on receive, or K9JBM giving him his SWR!

According to QRZ.com N4TAT is a General, licensed _since 2007_; K9JBM is 
a Tech, licensed since June 2013.

You can't make this stuff up.
