Add your 5 words to the story - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.
-- Amateur Radio
-- Anecdotes, Gripes & Humor
-- Antennas
-- CAE, CAD, & Software
-- Circuits & Components
-- Employment & Interviews
 -- Miscellany
-- Swap Shop

I saw a pretty funny scheme on another forum where someone started an ad hoc story with 5 words and everyone else added 5 more lines to the story. The story got so long that I never did finish reading it all.

Here are my seed words:

I'll never forget the project (now someone add 5 more words)

Hope this goes well :smt101
