Meeting notes 13 April 2015

It was another beautiful morning.  Bernie had the sign posted in front of the side door.

The conversation got around to moonshine and Don Partain, KJ4FKT gave us several interesting stories about the art.   We were told that sometimes the moonshiner added chicken shit to the brew for flavor!!  Don went on to explain how one could tell.  This is how:  pour a small amount of the white lightning onto a piece of wax paper.  Light the alcohol.  If it burns without melting the wax paper it is pure and free of the flavoring.

Don Colvin, KC4UUM suggested that everyone dig up a photo of their radio shack.  Whether it is operational or not, take a picture if you don't already have one.







HUMOR CORNER


REWARD OFFERED
A reward of 500 microfarads is offered for information leading to the arrest of this deperate criminal Hop-A-Long Capacity. This unrectified criminal escaped from a western primary cell where he had been clamped in ions awaiting the gauss chamber. He was charged with the induction of an 18 turn coil named Millihenry who was found choked and robbed of valuable joules. He is armed with a carbon rod and is a potential killer. If encountered, he may offer series of resistance Capacity is also charged with driving dc motor over a Wheatstone bridge and refusing to let the band-pass. The electromotive force spent the night searching for him in a magnetic field, where he had gone to earth. They had no success and believed he had returned ohm via a short circuit. He was last seen riding a kilocycle with his friend eddy current who was playing a harmonic.
