What in the Sam Hill is it?

heh heh heh ... if the ham-expert does not know, then no one knows ... lol
I would imagine, that it can go into a ham-head's survival kit.
You know what also funny, I was trying to find a picture of actual "device" on the net through google and had no luck, but then there's e-bay, and there you can find anything you can imagine and even what you can't imagine.
so here we go:
here's the one in new condition
here are actual devices:
Pink Space Age
this one is very antique-ish
this one is cool, it's kinda' green, alien device like
>>>>>>>>>
those devices may well be confused with NASA radar system, or Military Finder Radar or a TV Dish as well, and when it happens, then you'll see it on iSoldIt ...because, where else?

Ah, of course... for a dummy load.

It's all so clear to me now.
