Snark as a descriptive language
Another afternoon spent reading the prose from hams with antennas. No, not the usual long piece of wire, up in the air. I want to know about the options available (in a commercial context). Gear. And boy, did I get a cross-section of sentiments.
Hams don’t like to spend money, although they do. If a product is reliable, the reviews are over the top positive. However, when something performs (at the level of its design, usually), the snark come out. How many ways can you dun a product? Just visit the reviews on eham.net or qrz.com to learn how criticism is done.
After days and nights of figuring I might have a lead to something worth purchase, the very next reviewer will deflate the balloon. Still unable to decide on anything that might be suitable for life in a RV. Probably will never be able to decide, and instead I’ll go with gut feeling. Then, if it works, I can write my own over the top positive review. Wait for it.
We had more rain this afternoon, which means that my last two rounds of visitors were blessed by the climate. Almost too much sun. Now, the lawn can recharge.
What else is happening? Well, some of my floors are cold, due to the switch to cooling mode on the water furnace. I’ll have to be careful, as I live in a world of high humidity. The possibility of “sweating” is real, and although I manage to avoid slippage, someone else might not.
I brought back the borrowed laptop, to the local CMA-2019 site. They now have a database for their genealogy booth, as long as the one person available for lookups is there.
