station. For you new folks LARC ran a field day event that was powered by a
really big steam engine.

Thanks to each and all for the most pleasant surprise Monday night.  And thanks to Patrick and Bill for the kind words.

In all fairness, we should call like it is.  The success of the 2 at 2 Ragchew belongs to about 50 or so hams (and hamettes), mostly LARC members.  Have been in various groups of very fine people in various locales over the years.  None comes to mind that equals the 2 at 2 group.  God did a mighty fine job in assembling this one.

And the range of subjects you guys and gals come up with....WOW!

Again, thanks to one and all.  Thanks for being a friend.  Thanks for tolerating me.

Looking forward to getting back to Lakeland.  To getting a stick and stirring it up - on the Chew sometimes it becomes downright aromatic.

73,

Charley, ki4cri

P.S.  Did anyone on the Chew determine why the quarter moon on or over outhouse doors?

That is a neat little set up one.
Here is the one we used at the 2006 LARC Field Day. 
PS it was my 1st ever Field Day so I can not forget this.

Subject: Outhouses
Message-ID: <034a01ce055b$c1a80560$44f81020$@verizon.net>

>From the internet. 

it originates back around the start of the colonial times when most people
couldn't read or write. mens and ladies outhouses were recognizable by the
crescent moon shape for women and a sunburst shape for the men. the moon
"luna" was an ancient symbol for womankind, and the sun "sol" depicted man.
men never took care of their outhouses so they eventually stopped using
them and the women took care of theirs, so in the end the moon shape was
the only symbol put on outhouse doors.

 

Other info..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outhouse

 

Outhouse door design: There is no standard for door design. The well-known
crescent moon on American outhouses was popularized by cartoonists and had
a questionable basis in fact. There are authors who claim the practice
began during the colonial period as an early "mens"/ "ladies" designation
for an illiterate populace (the sun and moon being popular symbols for the
genders during those times).[8]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outhouse#cite_note-8>  Others refute the
claim as an urban legend.[9]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outhouse#cite_note-9>  What is certain is
that the purpose of the hole is for venting and light and there were a wide
variety of shapes and placements employed.



 

hum, interesting stuff for the old heads.. (naval term; HEAD or shitter
box)

Don't know but you might want to talk to Fred and the Board. Ernie was at
that field day when we had a steam engine.  It attracted some interest by
the press.
