Funny Magnets
Q: What did the male magnet say to the female magnet?
A: From your backside, I thought you were repulsive. However, after seeing you from the front, I find you rather attractive.

Home Brew 17 Tube Hoofus-Doofus
This 1929 Polymet ad gave us a chuckle. Wouldn't you love to see the home-brew 17 tube "Hoofus-Doofus"?

Scientifically Verifiable Fact: Best Antenna for Amateur Radio Use
We hams are tough customers when it comes to antennas (also known as the great interface to the universe or GITTU). It is often the case that the superior performing antenna is the one you would like to put up next and the under-performer is the one you put up last. Simply put, a ham is never satisfied. For many, that is part of the attraction to radio. A station can always be improved, modified, enhanced, augmented, tweaked, repaired, ... until the bank account is minus-zero or we are SK.
From time-to-time it is helpful to remind ourselves that the GITTU we have is better than the one we don't. The scientifically verifiable mathematical proof of this is that you can make contacts with the GITTU you have and you cannot make contacts with the GITTU you don't have. So get on the air and give your GITTU a workout.

NJ2X Note:
Gentle reader, you may be wondering why we used the 5 letter acronym, "GITTU" when the generally accepted acronym practice (known as GAAP) is a TLA or Three Letter Acronym? In our age of ever inflating bigger badder government, taxes, spending, deficits, and entitlements, the lowly TLA alphabet soup is simply passe. The world needs 66% more of everything so the 5 letter acronym (or FLACC) is the new normal.

NJ2X.COM 1st Anniversary
Today is the 1st anniversary of our website NJ2X.COM. It has been a year of learning for us and we enjoyed the experience a great deal. Thank you to our regular readers for your support. We hope you will help spread the word and share our link with others interested in amateur radio, ham radio, and shortwave radio related topics.
Our free daily feature, "FCC Technician Exam Question Of The Day" has been very enjoyable to write and we hope it has helped at least a few people to prepare for and earn their ticket.
We particularly enjoyed preparing cartoons for our "Ab Absurdo" amateur humor feature. It was rather fun coming up with radio related absurdities and translating them into cartoons. This surprisingly turned out to be a very relaxing and creative activity to engage in. Hope we gave a few chuckles too.
In case you didn't notice the link on our home page, we offer the NJ2X Kindle Edition for those using the popular Kindle devices.
Looking forward to another year of writing articles for NJ2X.COM and helping others interested in amateur radio, ham radio, and shortwave radio.
