Now mind you I've never actually seen the SOB or even his shadow but
there's this guy that hangs around my place named Murphey that always flips
the toast butter side down and flips transistors smoke side out. The bugger
will even do it when I think I'm watching. Cadwelds, Ground rods,
polyphasers and heavy gage low impedance conductors are very difficult to
over use. SINGLE POINT GROUNDING for *EVERYTHING* to tie onto keeps all the
frogs jumping in unison.

radio system never dropped off the air.)
