Since it is 9dB down from a screwdriver or
bugcatcher, one wonders why. :-)

==========================================

9dB is only one and a half S-units. (Ignoring Roy's ancient S-meter).

The Outbacker may still be well worth the money!

But that's just the Capitalist System which places Religion above
scientific facts. Sorry for becoming a little off topic.

A drop of South African Western Cape helps to keep things in
proportion.

9 dB is also the gain of a good long-boom 4 element Yagi over a dipole.
You'd have to drink more than a spot of the wine to not see the difference.

Roy, you have the unfortunate habit of changing the subject in the
middle of a discussion in the forlorn hope of it not being noticed.

What have 4-element yagis to do with Outbackers?

By switching to Chinese "Great Wall" white wine I can make my S-meter
read whatever I fancy. You ought to try some!

But perhaps you are a teetotaller who has never had the pleasure. If
in fact you are indeed a teetotaller, then, I must admit, you deserve
congratulations for having evaded the 'demon' drink.

It's all in the genes, anyway! I acquired it from my Grandmother.

How about someone who simply doesn't LIKE alcoholic drinks? :) I've had a
sip of a beer twice in 15 years. Like some that don't like broccoli, I don't
like liquor. It all tastes horrible to me and I'd rather have a unspiked
Coke! It all tastes the same to me----Nasty! YUCK! BARF! The Coke tastes
sweet and, when I drive home afterwards, I know where home IS and can get
there unassisted! The only "bad" effect from a Coca Cola is, it makes me
have to pee! :) After 57 years, I think I can do without for a few more. Now
the broccoli? I love broccoli casserole!! ;)

Or Amaretto, or Drambuie, or Captain Morgans in a vanilla Pepsi, or...

What I don't know at this stage won't hurt me. Not to be argumentive, but I
have heard that before. "But you'll LOVE this beer or that wine or that
whiskey". I can't tell the difference; the "great" beer or the wonderful
wine tastes the same as the "cheap" (?) stuff. BARF! ;) The Coca Cola still
wins! LOL!

I used to think that way too. Only bought the cheap stuff until one day
someone gave me a bottle of Glenlivet scotch. I rarely buy it because I
don't want to mortgage the house, but now I *do* know the difference. :-)

Have to agree, bought some really high dollar Scotch for New Years Eve in
1954 while in Japan. Flavor wasn't the same but it was as smooth as
chocolate milk. I was asleep before midnight. Had to quit that sort of thing
though, my Dad was alcoholic and I figured I'd probably inherited the gene.

That's just it for me. I don't want to run the risk, and after seeing what
it did to friends and relatives as well, it made up my mind in high school.
Tried it. It tasted AWFUL no matter what, so I prefer a Coke. Oh, if someone
insists I take a sip with him, I will. But since I simply do not like the
taste of alcoholic drinks, I simply drink enough to satisfy the buyer and
let it go. I just don't like it the same way some people don't like broccoli
or cauliflower and I never will. :)

Well good for you if you don't like Little John Barleycorn. But I find
it ironic that you consider that cola beverages taste good. I always
considered them as probably what carbonated battery acid tastes like.

And the caffeine in them is also a drug, of which a lot of people take
too much of.
