Re: Best solder free electrical connection

What do you expect from draft dodgers..

See how much better it reads from the bottom up?

I was in college during most of the Viet Nam era where almost all the hams were into some form of engineering. Many got drafted. At a later class reunion, I asked if they had worked in electronics, communications, computahs, or something technical. Nope. Mostly ground pounder and nobody ended up in communications. I would have assumed that being almost a college grad, would qualify them for something better, but apparently not. My guess(tm) is that for only 2 years of service, the Army was not going to invest in tech training.

It required a six years commitment for active duty. That was usually three years in tech school, a month and a half for basic and the rest working in the field you trained for.

Only in rare cases did they push their luck and have someone test out of a long school.

Then take a sledge hammer to the piece of junk.

No insult; fact.

IIRC, Mike Lupika was already a sports writer for the NY Post when he was on IitM. He went up from there, but hardly an unknown in the NY area. I always thought Charles McCord was the brains in the outfit. Imus was too stoned. I remember the time he, on a break, went into the janitor's closet, thinking it was the men's room. He was so blotto never knew any better. McCord had to go find him. I think that's when he got the "opportunity" in Cleveland.

The FCC is one thing, but you don't want to mess with the Janitor's union!

Not being a big follower of sports, I didn't think of him as well known at all. Imus used to tease him about being somewhat short. He was very likable and interesting.

Really? You were there? LOL!

I think you'll find that a Rolls will move more passenger-miles per hour than a Ford Fiesta. ;-)

A fully-loaded city bus and the RR would be a more meaningful comparision/analogy.
