Ham-radio enthusiast, Hezekiah Bambershoot, of Ft Jackson, was arrested yesterday at police headquarters for disorderly conduct and assaulting a police officer.Bambershoot initially came to headquarters reporting he had been victimized by buying a radio from a mysterious Californian named Ellie Craft. Ms Craft allegedly took advantage of Bambershoot by claiming to have down-conversion which he mistook for a syndrome of the same name. Bambershoot was happy with his purchase until his friends told him all the problems he should be having with his new radio. According to Police spokesman, Ken Wood, "The poor man was distraught and raving about roofing filters.What the heck are roofing filters?" The arrest report filed by fellow-ham, Officer Ike Com, listed Bambershoot's original complaint as "radio mushiness" but notes, "I told him all my radios sound mushy but he was upset he couldn't hear it on his.When we tried to calm him down he became unruly." Su Yae, an EMT called to the scene, defended Bambershoot saying, "When I got there they claimed he was making clicking noises with his keys but I never heard any key-clicking.The poor man was just frustrated because his purchase had so many faults he couldn't find.I feel sorry for him." Bambershoot is being held on $10,000 bond.Police are still searching for the elusive Ellie Craft. -- Buck k4ia ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
