Hola llista,

Pedroneu la sortida de tema però no m'he pogut resistir :-)

Encara que algunes de les qüestions són molt americanes, si et sents identificat amb cinc o més no ho dubtis: ETS UN MALALT DE LA RÀDIO.


1. When you look at a full moon and wonder how much antenna gain you
would need.

2. When a friend gets a ride from you and remarks that you have a lot of
CBs in your vehicle, it turns in to an hour long rant on how ham radio
is not CB radio.

short path would be best.

the hood for holes in the firewall for your power cables, you tell your
wife, "Nothing honey, just checking things under here."
