We think of our friend Darrell Penrod – K9MUG (SK) often. Members of the group has a million stories about Darrell.
One thing Darrell loved was to design and implement wire antennas. He often reminded us “Any tree without a wire in it is a wasted tree”.
Well, Darrell changed his wire antenna configurations so often that he didn’t take the time to solder the joints. He just twisted them up and untwisted them to suit the occasion. After a time, the HODARS members gave this technique the name “The Penrod Connector”.
As we said, there are many more stories!
