[SOC] I just dont "get it ". . . .

[Ray Day]

Hey - we're getting a little close to home here....

I have a small plush ferret (akin to ferrites) with a bandanna around his
neck that says "RFI Be Gone!" Sits on top of everything. "Riffi" would be
his name. Keeps ALL EMI/RFI outta da shack. I had a split ferrite Mix 31
core snapped around his tail for a while, but he was so good I found all was
well without it.....now who would begrudge that little critter?

Ah, er, then there's the goofy little plush rabbit labeled "RTTY RABBIT"
that helps me scoop up the mults in RTTY contests. Must work good, cuz I get
lotsa multipliers.

Hope this admission doesn't get me drummed out of the SOC and
demoted/promoted(?) to the Third Class Operators Club....

73,

These days when I look at photographs
of the typical ham stations, there's the usual pile of radios, maybe some
test equipment on the side, a computer, mics and keys.
 But there's often a stuffed animal
sitting on top a radio, or even some kind of plastic action figure.

 *What's with this "toy" thing ?*

I don't get it ...
