Many years ago a regular user of our wide area UHF system unwittingly timed out the system. He was driving one of several vehicles (a Suburban, not his) in our annual group trip to Hamvention. Being somewhat unfamiliar with the vehicle's accessories, he shoved the mic into a cup holder on the console, top first. In doing so, he keyed the mic in a continuous state. Some ten minutes later, the rig in the truck timed out, emitting T O in morse, which got his attention. Since several of us were in route and on the system, we heard more conversation between him and his passenger than we cared to... Anyway, later that summer the group had a gathering and presented him with the trophy..a "one size fits all" console accessory for vehicles with a hump in the floor with...cup holders built in! Some creative soul in our bunch rigged it with a huge flashing LED connected to the PTT line of a mic and a battery...with the mic glued into the cup holder. It was a hoot!
