I had a friend that I used to like to run around with. He always had some good
C & W music for me......... sometimes reception was better than others though.

Mike I've also seen more than a few folks put a GPS antenna inside a
Mike hat or cap, so that the only thing showing is the lead down to
Mike the GPS.

I wanted to do this, but the woman of the moment imposed her fashion
veto. I settled for mounting the antenna on the top of my backpack,
and it worked fine and didn't scare the children.

Mike It takes _all_ kinds, as the saying runs.

D'accord.

But ... but if you put it on your backpack, then it winds up looking
like one of the backpack GPSen from the Ashtech or Trimble catalog!
Where's the fun in _that_?

Now, if you mount one of the high-$, high-precision Trimble or Ashtech
GPS antennas, complete with planar choke-ring array, on or under your
hat, _that_ qualifies as well out on the tinfoil-hat axis. I wonder if
my Garmin 76 will talk to one of those, and where I can get one cheap.

two characters the best part of an hour to say "Oh! Hello!" to each other. At
that point I turned it off, even though I was in grave danger of missing the
first five or six minutes of "How're you doing?" -- Dave Brown

in the late seventies, i bought my first book on electronics. i bought
it because it was cheap, it was cheap because it came from the
erstwhile russia. it was a really excellent book called 'entertaining
electronics'. i really rocked.

one of the more interesting stories was that of a man who went to his
shrink saying that he was hearing voices in his head asking him to buy
something or the other. after a while, he started reporting news,
weather and sports! at this point, the shrink realised that this dude
was actually able to hear radio broadcasts. they seem to be improving
with age, literally.

an investigation releaved that he had a recent tooth-capping done. the
tooth-cap was slightly oxidised and the nerve-end formed a cats
whiskers which was direclty pumping AM broadcasts into his nervous
system! i don't know if the story was interesting, but it compelled me
to read the entire chapter on holes and electrons.
