Not enough votes, too much squelch & pigeons on the wire

Mrs. Walt called this morning giving the following statement:

[Mrs. Walt] Thank god it didn't happen, ive been so worried you know Bob!  Walt has been up every night trying to boost his 6 kw burner to get a signal into Vatican shack, even if it means going above the 750w legal limit! The QB5-1750 tubes have been red hot. Personally I think he was calling on the wrong channel but Walt says the cardinals had the squelch turned up too much and they only have a G5RV hanging of a smokey old chimney!  
He's been hellbent on getting elected as Pope!  Going on and on about how he could design a Pope hat as a discone or was it discount antenna! He even orders me to go down to the news agent and collect his weekly magazine on Pope Hats!

DK5DR Walter
Though i have to admit, he is of similar character to that nice old chap they chose,  he does love to ride a bike, catches the bus to see his friend Helmet and he sleeps in his own single bed. 

My goodness, he even does that signing a cross thing in the air every morning when he looks out from his garden shed blessing the antenna though he swears he is blessing all that are not so fortunate as he.

[Bob]
Oh well our lovely cuddly Walt could have been a great Pope! Even Dave from Dunstable was looking forward to Pope Walt the 1st Papal blessing on 7.140Mhz!  

Still we all can look forward to more of his great sermons on 40m
