K6JEB on Cooking Turkeys (Funny!)

Jack K6JEB posted this on the FT-857 yahoo group. I thought it was a very creative piece! The original thread was, toung-and-cheek, "how to cook a turky with an FT-857D".

So, with Jack's permission, here is his writing for your enjoyment too!



I see no reason to NOT just use *T-Match* and watch your output on a *BIRD* WATT Meter as you load-up the Turkey with RF, my suggestion would be to start on 3840 since that's where a lot of turkeys hang-out. But in some locales, you may find the turkeys gathering on an area repeater.

I've read pieces insisting on coax to feed their turkey but I think you'd best start with some simple grains and maybe let them run around the antenna farm a bit to fatten them up for the low bands ('Tis the Season).

Propagation with turkeys has been shown to be both a light and dark matter, which works best with copious amounts of gravy and stuffing.

Loading up a turkey and Chicken Band are NOT the same thing. Is that clear, good buddy?

Lastly, once you DO manage to load-up a turkey, instead of "CQ" use "TQ" which is when the DX starts flying-in.

Unfortunately most turkey-driven stations rarely finish QSOs since the tryptophan haze in the station often causes the operator to fall asleep and dream he's working CQ WW DX as TC4X.
