At a hamfest years ago I saw some UFO's on a table.
Me: "What kind are they?"
Vendor:"I don't know, what's best?"
Me: "People seem to like type 43 for HF/VHF and 31 for MF/HF suppression."
Next time I walk by the table, all of the UFOs were miraculously
identified and labelled. Why, he even had both 43 and 31 types in his
offerings. Son of a gun!
