Wow!  Those of us from a certain era built our stations from parts scrounged from discarded television sets using designs handed down by amateur ancestors and our mentors.  Most of the TV sets came from behind the local Radio/TV repair shop, not the town dump, but they were in the "free pile."

You guys are killing me with this! Here's my addition, albeit not as funny as any of the others: His batteries never need charged. His solar panels power the sun. Lightning doesn't scare him, he scares the lightning. He doesn't always operate solid state equipment, but when he does, he prefers

His fist is distinctive. Even in data modes. His dipole has an SWR of less than 1. Once a year, the SETI institute reviews his log. DXpedition teams have yet to reach his home QTH. When returning from SOTA outings, he carries tired goats. He is...the Most Interesting Ham in the World.
