That's a cool story Pat, gotta love it. I have heard stories on
Newsline where a ham got in serious trouble for somehow hooking
up 2 different fast food places so one got the others orders and
vis-versa. Pretty funny, but not only do you violate ham reg's,
I'm sure you violate all kinds of Department of Commerce and God
knows what other reg's when you do stuff like that. 73, Jim

Jim,
Had a friend with an Elmac AF67 - on ten meters we could order
hamburgers from a drive-in we often stopped at! The counter guys
thought it was great. And another sit down restaurant had a juke
box
that responded to ten meter A M audio in a wonderful way. First
guy
in would drop a dime and not choose a song and we would place our
orders and come in! Probably not altogether legal but there were
usually enough beers to dim the outline of the law!
Had another friend with an Elmac - spent lots of time tuning his
160
meter base loaded antenna. We push started that damned old
Pontiac
many times!! Couldn't let the car idle while you tuned, it would
overheat! Lots of fun and learning back in the day!

It was a new bug for those days. Your email reminded me that at
one point we were in a small town parked near a bank and I keyed
up the rig only to have the outdoor alarm sound off. Don't know
if it was coincidental or not, but we didn't stick around to find
out, just departed the area, nice and slow! I also remember the
rig causing my grandparents garage door to go up and down when I
keyed up. Wow, the things this list can bring back to mind are
amazing! Jim WA6EKS

And if that was an older six volt bug, headlights would go off
when
you would key down!
