- REAL NOCODES
- By Michael P. Deignan
- kd1hz@anomaly.sbs.com
-
- 1. Real nocodes overuse Q signals on phone. QSL?
-
-
- 2. Real nocodes use a repeater when in a grocerystore talking
- to their Good Buddy two aisles over. EMP from overhead
- flourescent lights makes simplex communication impossible.
-
-
- 3. Real nocodes would feel more comfortable if their 2 meter
- mobile radio only had 40 channels.
-
-
- 4. Real nocodes always have to stop to put some "MotionLotion"
- into their vehicle, on their way to pick up some "MochaJava"
- before stopping to "have an eyeball" with a fellow nocode.
-
-
- 5. Real nocodes are in a perpetual state of "studying the code".
-
- Corollary: Real nocodes have boxes of accumulated Element 3B CSCEs.
-
-
- 6. Real nocodes operate HTs with stubduckies in their vehicles
- and then wonder why they aren't making it into the machine.
-
- Corollary: Real nocodes own Radio Shack HTX202 "Walkie
- Talkies" with aftermarket "telescopic" antennas.
-
-
- 7. Real nocodes attempt to check into nets on their HTs while in
- their basement.
-
- 8. Real nocodes think a "net" is a new type of antenna.
-
-
- And yes... Every one of these actually happened.
- Have any others? Email them to me!
