[BC] People asking questions....

[Golchert, Michael A.]

            I spend a good portion of my time on the road, running radials for our AM stations.  As would be expected, I come across John/Jane Q. Public asking what I'm doing.  My usual response is that I'm taking electrical measurements for a local radio stations....and point out the orange dot on the pavement where the measurement is taken.

 

            However, I have heard other engineers have more "thought provoking" explanations...two are listed below:

 

            Sniffing loudly....then saying "Do you smell gas"?

 

            "Do you know anyone stealing cable in this area"?

 

            Since the threads have been a bit light-hearted lately, I thought this might bring some of you a smile.  Feel free to add your "explanation".
