Corky, I think we've been elegantly trolled.

Although, I will admitt that walking around in front of my TV's rabbit
ears seemed to work even better than the foil. Haven't quite figured
that one out yet.


John, just curious but do you know who Jim Weir is and what he does?

I know who he is, I've read lots of his articles for years. And Bob
Nuckols articles too.

Ok, well if you've read his posts here at RAH, you should know that he
probably hasn't done **ANYTHING** you used to do in regards
electronics, like putting tin foil on an antenna. More likely he
would have tried to make a better one from scratch, and modify it with
electronic boosters. ;-)

. . .But I
can't help but wonder with our names spelled so similar, that way back
many gerations ago, when there weren't so many of us, that we aren't
somehow connected. . .


What do you mean there weren't so many of us???? Everyone here had two
parents, right? And they each had two parents! Why, the way the population
is decreasing, I figger we'll be down to a handful of people in twenty,
twenty-five years or so.

Back when our ancestors were in caves. World population wasn't to much
then. My ancestors probably saw lightening and thus began pondering
electronics.

Either that or got hit by a bolt, thus permanently altering the neural
