Aw, Keith let the cat out of the bag!
It was Schrodinger's cat, actually. :-) Might as well fill you in as much as I
can...
Keith and I have been part of an ultra-secret Beta test team for the K5 for
some time now (I think). The K5 utilizes an entirely new technology that
produces a communication medium by modulating dark energy to produce quantum
resonance with an infinite number of possible parallel reality states, thus
allowing us to communicate with other similarly-equipped hams -- alternative,
parallel instances of other hams, actually, since randomly connecting with the
instantaneous quantum state of one's own reality plane is vanishingly
unlikely. We'll leave that to all the obsolete electromagnetic guys still
using K3s and the like!
This has produced some very interesting results so far. With careful
adjustment of the K5, it is possible to access many of the possible reality
states of any given ham. We are even discussing establishing an operating
achievement award for working the same ham in 100 different parallel reality
planes. (Contacting yourself in an alternative reality plane does not count.)
Further evolution of the quantum CPU's firmware will be necessary before
results such as this can be reliably achieved, but the possibilities are quite
intriguing. Already I find myself working instances of other hams who live in
countries that used to exist here, or that might exist here, or that will
never exist here. Makes DXCC take on a whole new... er, dimension! So to
speak. It's all somewhere... out there... (I think...)
Anyway, you get the idea. I can't tell y'all any more about it, because if I
do, it will all change anyway, so what's the point? Needless to say, it's
really very challenging!
So back to my Beta testing... Let's see, what was it I was Beta-testing,
then?... I don't seem to see anything here... can't remember...
