    Here's an idea: offer to do a presentation on antenna physics for your ARC, use the following animated GIF of a dipole to hypnotize the entire club, then steal their wallets and HTs.



    i just recently noticed that i seem to have become anti-ARC over the last year and a half or so. Not that i particularly disliked my last ARC or anything--they were mostly good people--but the whole concept seems less appealing to me than it used to.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I go about 3-4 months at a stretch without attending a meeting, and I find that works well.

    I've been a member of several and there was one and only one I really enjoyed because it was the only one not split into political factions and at war with itself. The outstanding quality that made it unique in my experience... it did NOT have a repeater.
