- *** SHOCKING TRUTH DRILLS AND SUNDAYS ***
- -----------------------------------------
-
- On first appearance the average DIY domestic drilling machine
- would seem to be good value for money, a labour saving device, an
- innocent enough piece of equipment you might think. When viewed
- in the DIY new superstore envioronment by the trendy, young
- morgaged to the hilt newly weds the machine and Sundays take on a
- whole new meaning.......QRN.
-
- Once purchased as soon as spare time permits the unit is put into
- immediate service shelves constructed, walls, ceilings, floors,
- doors in fact everything in sight it would seem is drilled
- relentlessly without remorse. Until I eventually after several
- months of constant activity one must assume the whole
- accomodation becomes honeycombed or converted into one large
- hole.
-
- This is eventually confirmed by the "FOR SALE" notice appearing
- outside the property. Like Woodworm the occupants move on to new
- pastures with the satisfaction of hearing along with the noise of
- the drilling machine, the estate agents remarks "well maintained"
- still ringing in their ears.
-
- Propertys like this do not stay empty for long and are generally
- soon "snapped up" by mostly retired couples looking for a "hole
- in the market". Alterations are quickly made usually with the
- Tropical Rainforest materials obtained from the said DIY
- Superstore and the drilling cycle generally re-starts within a
- few weeks.
-
- This information and the conclusions made above were obtained by
- many carefull hours of research mostly on Sunday mornings using
- my state of the art high frequency receiving equipment with
- directional tuned antennas despite some heavy Qrm from radio
- amateurs, many good unsuppressed signals were logged, my best dx
- was a drilling rig in Potters Bar. But that was a long while ago.
