According to ABC News.

You and your sure-shot sister Alluviana are needed there, Al. Your aim may be shaky, but you can do your part by reloading for her.

Marriott will simply introduce a "No Fansome's" policy to get around it. They'll have no problem doing it. It was recently ruled that chimpanzees don't have human rights in a federal court.

Not a lot of people know this, but their is a residence hall at Cal-Tech named after Fleming. It's where the gullible engineering students live.

Here's a couple of pics of some vintage WW2 direction finders made by Stewart Warner. The first one is the BC470D and the second one is the BC1003. I wonder if they could be retrofitted with SDR technology?

Our buddy Pat Murphy has one of the BC470D's, Al. He bought it thinking he could use it to locate Radio Bob. Sometimes I think our Pat is one dumb bunny.

You give the obit of the man who discovered Andrew "Dice" Clay, but Ernie Banks slips your mind?

You're an odd one, Mr. Grim.

and not a peep out of the Grim Fansome. Al, I think I can speak for the entire board in expressing disappointment towards you. For shame, Al Fansome, for shame.

As your minder, I expect detailed personalized apologies via pm to each and every member of this board by this afternoon.

Get to it, time is wasting.

Did your S.O. get that adjustment hammer I sent her, Al? You obviously need a tune up.

It was bound to happen. I wonder what kind of power he was running? He wasn't a tough catch, and he's well over two thousand miles from me.

Brady playing dumb when Belichick tried to throw him under the bus over Inflategate was priceless. Brady put the ball(s) firmly back in Bill's court. Now Bill is trying to blame the ball boy. Belichick is one class act. lol.

There has to be a real love fest going on between Bill and Tom as they prepare for the Stupor Bowl.

Huh. Kinda sounds like me.

Al, that is known as a "movie prop antenna".  It doesn't do anything but sit there, look good and confuse the radiophiles.

Other than the "look good" part you're correct, Al. That self awareness training is really starting pay of for you.

There are still a number of commercial vertical CB base antenna's that use the eggbeater design at the top.
