Friday evening Ralph presented at the Vienna Wireless Society about frequency measurement. I went along because my idea of a great evening is to spend it with a lot of gray haired old men talking about radios, antennas, and the weather. (But really, with a forecast of snow, in October!, who wouldn't talk about it?)
Ralph did a great job and I learned quite a bit. I now know a little bit about the history of frequency measures. I know that a Hydrogen Maser would make a great Christmas gift for my husband but that he would settle for a Cesium beam. I have a better understanding of why I have so many antennas in my backyard and the value of the cable running through my kitchen. And I know that in October of 1986 Dan Rather was attacked by two men who wanted Kenneth to give them the frequency. Ralph gave an interesting presentation that kept the men interested and didn't lose me. I think that is pretty successful.
I wanted to get a nice picture of Ralph giving his presentation but ended up with a nice photo of the back of the guy sitting in front of me instead, because I was trying to be subtle and not look like a kindergarten mom on the first day of school. And my cell phone doesn't have a zoom.
