"IT
HAPPENS,
EVERY
SPRING.."
-
Yes indeed, baseball season is almost around the corner! And while it has nothing to do with radio, I couldn't resist using this cover photo from a 70's CB Magazine!
-
So, besides baseball's spring camp, what else goes on every spring??? Well, in the radio world it's nice weather to:
- Take down that antenna and clean it up, get rid of rust, etc.
- Check your feedlines (ed. - remember that horror film "When Cables Go Bad"??
- If you have a device like the MFJ-259, hook it up before and after you're done just to make sure it's okay.
- The ground is getting softer....so now that new tower you've been planning is ready to be assembled.
- Hamfests, yard sales, etc. - time to hit the pavement while the weather is cool
- Cleaning out the garage - Oops! Not sure how that made it on the list (XYL), disregard.
And of course....Boston Red Sox Baseball...just remember - "It happens every spring".
