A Radioman's Nightmare Gary, Indiana Editor, QST:
The following poem was written by S. W. Scott of Los Angeles. It is intended to be sung to the tune of "Mairzy Doats" - if you haven't forgotten that one by now: A.C. volts And D.C. volts And little ohms and amperes. A little inductance, too, Wouldn't Q. With micromhos And E.C.O.'s And little microfarads, I'm more than a little nuts. Aren't you?
If these terms sound queer And screwy to your ear, A bit off resonance and freaky, Say LCR and A.V.C., I think my condenser is leaky.
Ohmzy's Laws And Kirchoff's boresThis is a little crazy. Radio's crazy, too. Aren't μ.?
