Naming dishes ain't to everyones taste Martin ..Sounds like a very busy day VS, well done some good progress, after reading hours of your post over time and you naming your dishes, me and the wife have decided on our dish names.
Do we have a thread with dish names with pictures ?/ maybe why we have chosen the names, it would be good if not and something to relate to ?.
I find it very convenient to refer to them by name ..paticularly when posting..
fwiw my rules for naming are PFs = Female....and Offsets Male.
Christina is named for my favourite pint sized venus of an actress Christina Ricci ..
Like my alcoa ..simply beautiful.
Carl my most recent named for Carl Sagan..one of my heroes..and replaces Neil ..named for Neil Armstrong as it went into service at my QTH roughly about the time he died. ..another Hero.
Tom Dick and Harry named for the tunnels in the great escape..
Like them they were my original dishes (Ku) and like the hobby I love ...also _my_ great escape.
Tom and Dick often work in tandem covering a section of arc each with a small overlap ..
Where one finishes ..t'other takes over ..
Harry being a reserve ..but currently used for Ka only at 19.2 East
Make of it what you will ...
either I'm a sentimental old sod ..or a nut-job.
Make up yer own mind.
;)
