What? You want to critisize people who try to contribute to a specific
discussion with a possible general comparision, but you don't find a
specific post to critisize?

What contribution? The guy only wanted to hear about the Blap-O-Matic 99, not
every other possible radio! If someone asks me about a Drake R8B, why would I
tell him about a Sony 7600? Although I didn't cite an actual example, anyone
who's read this newsgroup for a while knows what I'm talking about.

Sheesh.

You eediot!



Yea But, my YB400 works fine and I don't think it has anything to do
with the Sony 7600.

Maybe not. But identical twin radios, with consecutive serial numbers, will
oftentimes expirience the same problems. Even if they are in different
countries or are on different sides of the world. I think I heard all about
it from Art Bell.

This has got to be about the best one yet!!!

Thanks Frank.

Actually I have the Blap -O-Matic 88 and find it to be an excellent
reciever. The natural gas operated display is nice and bright and the
hamster driver mechanical filters have a great shape factor depending on
what type of skirt I put on the hamster. I believe the 99 uses geribles
rather than hamsters thus having the longer tail that pulls in that extra
faint signal.

Don't you wish you had a dollar for every time you read a stupid reply to
a
poster's question, like the following typical example?


ORIGINAL POSTER asks something like this:

I am thinking about getting a Blap-O-Matic 99 tabletop receiver. How well
does
this radio perform? Has anyone had any problems with it? Please share your
hands-on experience with your Blap-O-Matic 99. Thanks.



SOME IDIOT posts the following reply:

I don't know anything about the Blap-O-Matic 99, but I do have a Radio
Snatch
XYZ-222, which seems to do a great job for a portable. It eats batteries,
though. I really like the little red signal strength LED.



AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH !!!!!

You are correct, I had a chance to use a friends 99 on a DXpedition a while back
and it really blew the 88 away. The 99 has a built in feeder for the gerbils as
well, whereas the 88 does not have that feature for the hamsters.

One can always count on a Blap-O-Matic in those tough DXing situations, no
matter what model one chooses.

I love a good chuckle s. Let me throw in my three cents worth:

If the hamster or gerbil dies, what sauce goes well with
small-rodent-shish-kebob g ? With all that bright sun and heat, BBQ would
be really marvellous while listening to Clandestine Enemy of the State via
upper Tanu-Tuva.

Truer words have never been spoken. Nothing like a cold winter night here in
Minnesota at a remote cabin with a nice fire, a random lenght longwire
hooked to a Blap-O-Matic. The first time I QSLed Radio NibiNibi was using
old Blappie, as I called it ,on one of those DXpeditions. Pardon me I am
getting all choked up.

ROTFL... this thread is too damned amusing... I thought I recognized that
"Minnesota humor" even before you said anything about Minnesota... ;o)
