Re: [Elecraft] "Kool-Aid" -- was "2m Module"
I drank a lot of different flavors of Kool-Aid as a child. It was made in large quantities, like a pitcher, and was less expensive per ounce/glass than soda/pop. I'm sure that cost was the rationale for many parents. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 8/23/2013 4:37 AM, David Toepfer wrote: Kool-Aid is a pre-mixed powder packet of artificial flavor an artificial colour to which you add sugar and water and drink (i think in England it's called a squash).

Re: [Elecraft] "Kool-Aid" -- was "2m Module"
However, as used here, it seems to mean that one has become a believer in Elecraft products. In early usage there was an implication of absolute, blind, loyalty, but that seems to have fallen off given the open and technical discussions. Perhaps it now implies educated loyalty when used here. Rich NU6T Mike K2MK wrote: >Hi Tim, > >Drinking the Kool Aid is a derogatory expression.

Re: [Elecraft] kool-aid
Mix up your favorite flavor of Koolaid, leaving out the sugar and put it in a spray bottle. Cover your work surface with a sheet of heavy paper or light cardboard and spritz it with the Koolaid. (Just a little and repeat as necessary) There is your antistatic surface. As the guy who invented the "pink poly" antistatic bags told me in an ESD seminar once, "You can't get a static charge off a wet cat." --- On Fri, 7/31/09, travistowns...@sbcglobal.net wrote: From: travistowns...@sbcglobal.net Subject: [Elecraft] kool-aid To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Date: Friday, July 31, 2009, 12:43 PM i think i may have just drank the kool- aid. i placed my order for a k3. dale is a most helpful gentleman!! i am coming to the k3 from a ft one. my first question to the list is where in the world can a fellar get an anti-static mat? __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
