Just worked Earle on FT-8!   Hi Earle!

I remember as a kid - I thought a Beverage antenna
was a beer can vertical! Anybody remember the beer can vertical?

A ham would throw a party and furnish the beer. You could have a free beer
under the condition that when you finished the beer, you had to solder your
can on top of the last guy's can. And up she went ...   That's when beer
cans were made out of steel.

There was a lot of beer consumed at the beginning - as the afternoon
progressed, things got a bit slower ... And then they started putting beer
into aluminum cans. Some people just know how to ruin perfectly good
construction projects ...

showing my age,
John, NP2B
