Re: DZOTA: Dead Zones On The Air

Kidder, George
"The man who eats fruitcake is a total disgrace,
Stretched out in the gutter with crumbs on his face
'Away Away with rum', by gum
Is the song of the Temperance Union."

Those are actually from the stanza:

"We never eat cookies, for cookies have yeast,
And one little bite turns a man to a beast,
Oh, can you imagine a greater disgrace,
Than a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face."

Impossible.  

Growing up in Minnesota, it was customary to reveal - at an appropriate age - not only the truth about Santa Claus (I won't go into that right now), but the fact that there is, was, and forever will be only one (1) fruitcake in existence.

It just gets passed around every year.

Uff Dah!

Lyn, WØLEN

It's caused by the excess of fruitcake in MN. All the fruitcake
[chemical symbol Fc] in the universe was created at the Big Bang, along
with a lot of hydrogen [H] and some Helium [He].  It is governed by the
well-known Conservation of Fruitcake law ... you cannot destroy it,
however you can give it away.  It and aluminum foil [Rw] have a mutual
affinity for each other.  For reasons still unknown, it tends to
accumulate in the upper midwest.  Fruitcake absorbs electromagnetic
radiation very well and is probably the cause of your dead zone.

Well, thanks to the burners, most of Gerlach has cell coverage, free wifi, 2m and 440M repeaters - linked to IRLP,  and they have even installed their own cell tower out near the Trego Hot Springs for cell coverage out in the Black Rock.  It's funny to zip by the hot springs on a 70MPH locomotive and see a cell tower out in the "middle of BFE"!   😉    And, they didn't have to disguise it as one of those off colored green looking pine trees - like up near W7RN - to get it "approved"...But I always have the little KX2 with me - just can't use it "locomotive mobile" anymore  ;-(

73, Todd KH2TJ
