Digest Number 509

David Harvey
"Shady O'Rack" is just a Spoonerism of Radio Shack (also known
as Tandy Electronics in some places.) It's trivia, but the term "Spoonerism" comes from some English university professor who used to accidentally swap the beginnings of his words around like that. Spooner's fame was so great that people would attend his lectures in droves so they could hear these often hilarious distortions of the English language from his lips. David vk2dmh |

Mike sez:
got an ATX on order - where can I find the wire length chart?Mike, (This is going to sound like a commercial, but it's really the best place to find the chart!) Look at Ken's site for FT-817 accessories: The wire lengths are at the bottom of the page, just above the "add to cart" for the kit. BTW, the original construction article is in the FILES area for FT817 group: FILES Antennas CounterpoiseKit CounterpoiseKit.txt I hope it works well for you. Regards, Dale, W8ABZ w8abz@... EN91 |
