you been hanging out on 11 meters?

Reminds me of what I once told my secretary back in the 70's.
Our lab soldering irons were simple AC devices with standard
AC cords attached. We tied a half-hitch knot in them and used
that loop to hang them on nails on the wall. I was at the
bench one day and my secretary asked me what the knot was for.
I told her that by tightening the knot, I could regulate the
flow of electrons and thus control the temperature of the
soldering iron. Later that night, over drinks at Charlie
Brown's, she and I had a good laugh about that.
