3B9C Worked All Coconuts
 
UPDATE -  Thursday 1, April 2004 UPDATE INDEX

The European and North America coconutWorked All Coconuts (WAC)

Our own special version of WAC - Worked All Coconuts.

An important issue when operating, is knowing where your beam is pointing.

All beams at 3B9C are hand turned, using the traditional "armstrong method". However, it is necessary to know exactly where to aim the beam. This can be difficult at night.

3B9C have adopted the coconut method. Placed on the ground in the right spots, are three coconuts for each beam. The beam is rotated so the arm is above the appropriate coconut and - as if by magic - the beam points the right way.

Our main picture here shows the North American and European short path coconut.

There is a special award for Worked All Coconuts, which is available until 1200 local time, today only.

Is today April 1 ?
