At a hamfest years ago I saw some UFO's on a table. Me: "What kind are they?"
Vendor:"I don't know, what's best?" Me: "People seem to like type 43 for HF/VHF and 31 for MF/HF suppression." Next time I walk by the table, all of the UFOs were miraculously identified and labelled. Why, he even had both 43 and 31 types in his offerings.
