Hello again Fisicks.
Got it right this time!

Jeff, G4XNH, sent this reply to the questions from Ian, G0TEZ.

Mrs Appleton's son. In a pie next to the custard.

Ionosphere and propogation comes to mind, but that's it.

I know him. He has a school up here. Or he did!

Obviously SOMETHING to do with propogation I imagine. Was he into atomic bombs
or such-like? I seem to recall reading something like that about a Rutherford
long ago.

A book in the Bible and Armageddon. Underground. Deep Space 12. ;)

Haven't a clue. Maybe to do with the trigger?

Yes, we got Robert Hooke and his springs.

"Hooke's Law". If you got caught, you went to jail?

And later, Jeff sent...

Hi Dick,

Glad I made your night though I am unsure how! Did I write something wrong
again! Regards.

73 - Jeff, G4XNH @ GB7YKS

I have just sent Jeff an sp to thank him once again for my late night (in OZ)
cup of tea. I got a kick out of his alternative answers to the questions that
Ian, G0TEZ posed in a previous bulletin. In true 'dead pan' Jeff seems to be
saying, 'what, did I say something wrong?

No, Jeff. Just something we all need before we get too serious. You said
something right!

73. Dick. VK3ABK.
