The beginning of hacking... Hmmm... Makes sense now... :) 2009/5/16 fyodor <fyodor@hushmail.com>

ok. I think I had one of those moments too... trying to get a VHF- only TV work with the UHF band... Cable TV converter's were rare and expensive - if only I had a photo of the converter's circuitry then,

eh? this also reminds me i way back when KBC was the only channel available and we were no where near Nairobi. So my brother tinkered around with the UHF bands and mashed up an aerial something you can pull out a sci-fi movie.....for some awkward reason we managed to configure a dipole which received some indian channels which made us feel like heroes!!

Sigh, good old days......nostalgia at its best....and that was the beginning of hacking....well someone said these stories need morals!
