Re: Resistor plugs & resistor wires?
Off topic but wondering, anyone know if Kevin Johnson is OK? He was a prolific poster (most of it over my head:)) but he hasn't posted since October of last year. Is he alright?

Holy crap. I thought that was a stupid plot device on Gilligan's Island, where Gilligan was getting radio on his teeth. The Professor explained it all, but he didn't sound convincing.Kevin Johnson wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 12:02 pm People forget about crystal and "foxhole" radios; people hearing the radio from their fillings or other dental hardware.
Gilligan's mouth becomes a radio when a filling in a tooth is knocked loose. Just in time too, as the regular radio is broken and a monster typhoon is on its way.
