Thanks Steve. Every time I hear this clip it takes me a good half hour to stop laughing. It hurts.  |

Musical notes I don't know about. Cobb Island was his first voice transmissions, though they were garbled. Anybody notice the old chap picked very nice places to do his experimenting from? |

Dunno. Cobb Island, MD is in the Potomac, just across the river from Colonial Beach, VA. It's maybe 6-8 miles south of the US301/Nice Bridge in southern MD. I've eaten at the crab house just across the inlet from the island.
Maybe there is another Cobb Island?
