[TenTec] Re: open wire line

[George, W5YR]

Corn was quoting the title of one of W2DU's classic series of articles
in the 70's in QST.

Walt, W2DU, did not mean "kill" literally, of course. He was referring
to the gyrations that some folks - especially in those less-informed
days before he published the series - would go through trying to get
that "perfect match." A lot of guys back then acted like it was a matter
of life or death.

Fortunately, we know better these days . . . don't we?
