Reminds me of a short lecture we got a loclal Ham / Boss of model
engineering co. to do on club night when it fell on April 1st.

He had been called in by the Goverment to produce miniature HF beams for
diplomatic work. The best one was the mini HF beam which could be buried
in the sand in the desert and so be undetectable yet was only 3dB down on
a full size performance.

We (the comittee) got complaints for missleading some members, I dont know
whether they had gone out and invested in a load of brass rod, and that
upset them or whether it was the formula that the lecturer made up on the
way down to the club.
