[TenTec] where do you get your CLAP TRAP?

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

I don't even know what a claptrap is, so it couldn't be too bad!
Maybe somebody can clue me in "off-line".

Upon reflection, Wade makes an excellent point: my use of the word
"claptrap" is regrettable and I sincerely apologize to any and all affected.


I should have used the much better word "humbug."
