This was in my email...no doubt someones idea of a joke.
But it's a cute joke so I thought I'd stick it up here...
Is the little ball on top of my antenna the ionsphere?
I put the ball to a metal grinder and I could easily see an outer F layer and then the E layer. I couldn't find a D layer, but it was dark outside and there's not supposed to be a D layer at night. Neat how antenna's can be manufactured to do that.
Just passed my tech and General on Sunday so I'll be on the bands as soon as I find out my callsign and get an ionsphere for my antenna. I destroyed the old one on the grinder and I hear you need a good ionsphere to shoot good skip and hear far away stations. Reception has been really ****ty lately without the ionsphere. I looked through the last 4 issues of QST and I couldn't find anyone selling ionsphere's. Where can I get one, or do I have to buy a whole new antenna?
