I looked at my antenna the other day while I was talking. I saw some
jumping off. Szczepan has been right all along. Or maybe it was bird do do
I saw falling. Anyway, something was coming down from my antenna.

Hello Michael.

The do do has been extinct for centuries. Have I misunderstood your email?

73, Ian.



There was a bird on my antenna wire. I think he may have crapped about
the time I was looking. It was either that or a huge bunch of electrons
all fell off at once.

I prefer to think of the do-do. Keeping birds off aerials could be a
rewarding topic. I think the pigeons that perch on my HF beam nibble at the
trap end caps. Not good news.

Ian, I am pretty advanced in years. I am 69. I can remember a comedian
whose name escapes me. He got paid good money for coming on stage and
talking just like Szczepan. I think it would be a gas for him to address
a large gathering of amateur radio operators. He could have us all in
stitches in a few seconds.

I get a fair amount of entertainment value just reading his posts. Some
of them are laugh out loud moments for me. I don't know whether his is
truly that ignorant or is just having fun with us. It doesn't matter. He
is funny.

BTW Szczepan, I have a loop antenna for low band. The electrons go
around in a circle and I recycle them. This saves a huge amount on my
electric bill.

Hello Michael. From where I am sitting, 69 isn't all that old. I have
friends heading for 90 who are definitely not showing their age.
Was the comedian a Brit named Stanley Unwin or an American named Fred ???

Pretty sure you are talking about Professor Irwin Corey "The World's Foremost Authority".

He's 95 and still working - I'd hurry if you want him...

Yes Brett, it came back to me. It is so good to know he was an engineer.
YES professor Irwin Corey. Szczepan needs to polish up his act a
little to match the professor. He is just not quite there. I suspect he
never will be. However, he is still funny, just not as funny as the
professor. God, 95 and still working, bless his heart.

Stanley Unwin's your man. Before he became a comedian, he was a BBC
transmitter engineer, so he was one of us...

http://www.stanleyunwin.com/home2.htm

By us, of course, I don't include Szczepan. My feeing is that he's
either :

1 Far gone with senile dementia OR
2 An academic troll who's been winding up Usenet groups for years

I think (2) is more likely - dementia is progressive, and I'd expect
Szczepan's ramblings to get gradually more and more incoherent. Instead
there is a strangely consistent quality to them.

Anyway, I killfiled him years ago.

So you don't reckon he could also be a computer, programmed to carry out
the Turing Test?

Anyway, I killfiled him years ago.

Where's the fun in that? In this sad world, we often need a bit of
light-hearted relief and amusement.
