hi all, Not sure where it orginated, but "no joy" is often used to say what we did did not work, hi. It is used basically to say the results we were looking for did not. Now "no Joy" might mean we did not find Joy where we thought she would be. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: WD7F - John in Tucson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2007/07/08 Sun PM 10:57:47 CDT >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Acronyms-a little OT > >It's a pilot's term, I think. Missed the target, no target found, missed the interception point, etc.de WD7FJohn in Tucson ----- Original Message ----- From: George HenryTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sunday, July 08, 2007 8:10 PMSubject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Acronyms-a little OT >I always figured it was coined by guys who struck out on liberty (shore leave)..... ;-)  ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 2:23 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Acronyms-a little OT > I'm probably wrong, but I've always thought it is an Australian term that has been adopted in this country.  Richard www.n7tgb.net  > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 12:05 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Acronyms-a little OT > > > Where did the expression "No Joy" originate to indicate an unsuccessful repair effort?    > > > > Ron Wright, N9EE 727-376-6575 MICRO COMPUTER CONCEPTS Owner 146.64 repeater Tampa Bay, FL No tone, all are welcome.
