He was sitting in the shack checking it out when his wife let the dog out. The dog saw the new fire hydrant in the back yard, but my friend was ready. Just as the dog lifted his leg, my friend hit the key - with a full KW going to the antenna. From then on, the dog gave the antenna a wide berth, always watching it suspiciously. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry, AI0K ================== |
