Behavior comments...

Once upon a time where there's still no voice conferencing mode and the when the community is still small, wireless is one of the daily routine among the group of people around the island. Years and years gone, the community grew bigger and bigger. More new people occupy the frequency. To cover the wireless communication coverage for the whole island (90%), repeater is being used to serve the purpose. The repeater been use for relaying chatter boxes, emergency relaying and seasons greetings and of course radio coverage checking every weekend.
At one year, without any reason, the old parrot (repeater) is being swap by the main society based in the capital with a unknown Kent Wood, which is also one of the giant brand in wireless communication in portables but not in commercial parrots. Anyway, the old motor rolax being swapped. From day one, all people start to complain about the annoyed new parrot's behavior. As we know, one of the human nature, slowly will adapt to the environment and will forget all about the winging. As most people is travelling within the Zone 1 (with in 10km) coverage which is not reall affected with the propagation.
One upon a time again after the new woody parrot serve the islander, one jungle boy in zone 2 start to make noise complaining the parrot is not well and sounds weirdo. Instead of being good to inform the people in charge, the feedback was the parrot up there is healthy and you (jungle boy) please check your setup (Poor setup) and very sure is your station problem, sounds very stubborn. From the day on, the islander hardly hear voice from the jungle boy due to the "unfriendly, stubborn, idiot, no manners behavior." Jungle boy decided will never ever again be active on the air waving to the islander like nuts due to having "damn" poor setup, will also hardly want to give out any useful jungle bush tucker recipe which seems to be rubbish according to the islander.

As "damn" poor setup is refering to using commercial base antenna mounted on the 22 century 20ft tall coconut tree (no more leaves) which all the leaves being fried by the 60watts of radiotion produce by the antenna and using Imported low loss coaxial ropes RG213 breed. The coconut tree is planted about 30ft-35ft above sea level.

Question: For VHF communication, the higher the antenna, the better reception?
Answer: BULLSHIT!!! Been proven here as islander insist is jungle boy having poor setup.

Been reading the electronic mail for the past few days, one new islander commenting saying the parrot up there is not working at certain time. Wonder why no one tell him the parrot is working fine and please check your setup and make sure is having good setup. Instead saying the parrot is due for a shower. So please be kind, tell them to check the setup before asking silly question, the parrot is being hired and paid to work 24hrs, 7 days, mon-sun. Well, the jungle boy is already out of it, will be back again only after if he manage to catch one parrot in the jungle and taught him to talk.

Some of you might know what is this article is commenting about. If not, just ignore it.

Maybe poor location... e.g. people at the Temple Cape oso cannot make the parrot talk properly. Try putting up a fish bone on the coconut tree and see the result.
If everything else fails, try 012/013/016/017/019.... hehehehe. 73.
