[TenTec] Electric safety

[DAVID HELLER]

I really enjoyed that part.  Of course my fee was a bit higher for days 
spent in court (very enjoyable!) and I like to dictate the questions to the 
opposing lawyer for his cross - and most would fall for it.  The best 
invariably was a cross question  not quite related to the case at hand which 
was so easy to answer: "Sorry, that's out of my expertise and I'm not 
qualified to answer."  And the judge breaking in telling him to stop wasting 
time and keep it relevant.  What's nicer than having his honor on your side!

The best I ever had was actually right close to home on an amateur radio 
antenna/zoning case (no charge of course) with K3DSF vs U.S.Steel.  Two of 
us were :Pete's expert witnesses, myself and K3BNS, now W3BE, who 
subsequently became FCC's head of  personal (Amateur and CB) in DC, and 
until recently QCWA president. Story is fairly long - maybe another time 
here.  But the case - l963 +/- is well known to ARRL, and I don't know why 
it hasn't set a precedent for the covenant restriction crap.  But I'm no 
lawyer, so what do I know.    Dave, K3TX
