I was rumaging through one of my old diddy bags down in the shack and came across the two items pictured here. The bag had the letters "W.O.E." on it. They might have come home from a past Field Day exercise or perhaps some long forgotten DXpedition to who knows where or maybe my last visit to Connecticut? The puzzle is...what are they? Can anybody help? Please leave a comment with the name of the item, how and where it is used (the more creative the better.) Just click 'Comments' below this post. For sake of reference I'll call the one on the left, the WH1 and the one on the right, the RS1. I'm not sure, my memory is really getting bad, but this may just be a ploy to see if anyone actually reads this blog. ;)I promise to keep digging and if I remember the actual story behind these two items, I'll share it in a week or so. And regardless, I'll post some of the more creative comments I get. So put on those thinking caps. For those of you who have ever been away to summer camp, this is kind of like those camp fire stories we remember making up. Maybe someone will actually come up with the real answer.
What does W.O.E. stand for you say? Well, I'm not sure...it was just on the bag. By now everyone in the world knows what W.M.D. means and somehow I think they might be related in some small way.
That's all for now O.M.

Well done Jeff. I had hoped it wouldn't be that easy. If anyone has any other links to the story of the Wouff Hong or the Rettysnitch, please send them along.
And I think it still would be fun to read any 'camp fire'-like stories fertile minds might conjure up about the way these two instruments might have been used, and perhaps might still be used today.
