RE: [Elecraft] DL-1 olfaction feature
I've never heard eau used to define a fragrance. As you say, Eau de Cologne is Cologne water. In French the adjective comes after the noun. C'est la vie! Hmmm. Elecraft doesn't sell either water or perfumes so I'll leave it at that, Hi!

Ahhh...an Idiot Detector. I have several. They go off almost daily to remind me that no one will ever be notifying the Nobel Committee over anything that I do! You might want to take an ohmmeter to the resistors in your DL-1 to make sure they survived OK. 73, Ken Alexander VE3HLS --- Vin Cortina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just wanted to make sure you all know about the special feature in the DL-1 which allows you to detect an overpower with your nose.
