[HCDX] WVUS Noumea - And A Dog Called Satchmo

[Paul Ormandy <paulorm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Another article jsut posted to radiodx.com...

                Fungus was another serious problem. It not only grew in 
shoes,
                toes and crotches, it grew in equipment such as 
microphones. The
                ultimate in radio listening pleasure is not listening to a 
man
                scratching his fungus-filled crotch while being cheerful 
through
                a fungus-filled microphone.

                The station manager at Noumea, reported back to AFRS that
                it was necessary to twice-daily blow out the fungus from 
the microphones
                with a bellows. He made no mention of how he solved the other
                fungus problems.

                Fungus, along with frequent periods of 99.999% humidity,
                limited the useful life of radio receivers to about four 
months
                before their innards simply rotted away....
