If you are really curious, you could ask them why they think that. But if you try to figure out how the brains of every one of your customers works, you will scramble your own brain.
I do remember a guy I knew in college who was trying to get his ham radio equipment working in his apartment, and gave up about the time his upstairs neighbor banged on the steam radiator. A few days later, the neighbor saw him in the hall and asked if the radiators were interfering with his TV also. Being kind of a dick, my buddy said yes, now that you mention it, I think I have noticed that. So whenever he had people over he would show them his entertaining trick, he would key the transmitter until the neighbor banged on the pipes, then turn it off. This is how superstitions and folk remedies start. From: Mathew Howard via Af Sent: Monday, September 22, 2014 3:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Is it the wind?
