Mal, I'm getting terribly confused here! A few days ago you were advising me that ALL I needed was a Crystal Set! I thought use of a PC showed "sound judgement" myself. You must be a bit of a card! A
Hi all, I too would wish to diassociate from this rather cowardly action. Mal and I may disagree from time to time but in the spirit, I hope, of intelligent debate. Impersonation and anonimity hardly
Scott, Can someone cleverer than I please suggest a design for a M to V converter. I would like to observe the periodic variances on a 'scope. It would also be useful for me to receive suggestions as
How about coming at this from another direction. Consider the case that the Earth's own natural electrical/magnetic activity arising from its nature/structure/movement give rise to currents and field
Actually Mal, Having been taught by REAL experts who also happened to be REAL radio amateurs as well as pro's the accepted technique was: dip into ind. alcohol, then dip into solder pot, then dip bac
Hmmmmm! Mus' jus' check me ngr 'n clock! Gorra theoda thingy sumwhere an itsa clear nite here. Might gerra starsight 'n' all! Seriously, though there is a serious thought behind all this! And ALL of
That's right Mal. An' I'll have me old bike out, mechanically coupled to the old dynamotor from the old Command Tx sweating away to produce some HT volts too! The old Rx uses 807's, by the way! Errm,
Good lord! Roger, You actually allow Memsahib input to the guidance of your conveyance? They actually have little ability in the spatial awareness requirement area. 'Tis a proven fact! Have you ever
Doing this sort of thing on any reflector is more likely to ALIENATE folk than encourage them to your way of thinking. It's a thoroughly rotten and ill-thought out piece of marketing strategy! Q.E.D.
Strange thing, this "global warming". If it's to be the result of melting arctic ice caps how come I fill a glass with water, plonk a large piece of ice in it so it overflows, wait for the ice cube t
Sorry about that, Chris. I was under a misapprehension in that I thought the arctic ones were afloat. Drat! I've won a few pints of ale on that one. However, is it not the case that it's mostly big c
Hi Tom, While it may not be practical at your location, an "optical link" does not HAVE to rely only on optical "cable" link but might also comprise a projected light beam in free space. A distance o
Hi Roger, Alan G3NYK and myself often debate this (being 'ole fogeys'). Personally I would align this with the failure of our education system to engage students in the sciences and mathematics in ou
Oooops! I forgot got to add: I can't remember clearly but I don't recall mention of Elft 'n' Safettey back in those days. Elfts were wot girls played wiv! 73 -- 73 es gd dx de pat g4gvw qth nr felixs
Hi John, I agree in principle with your opening paragraph. However, I do believe it is irresponsible and perhaps reprehensible tp publish without qualified peer review a paper making such strong clai
Hi All, Roelof rather beat me to a comment. The use of optical "transmission" lines is, these days, an entirely practical solution to many problems. Optical devices are available for operation from b
Mal is spot on with that one. A well-known Chelmsford firm used the technique in some of their tx units. 73 -- 73 es gd dx de pat g4gvw qth nr felixstowe uk (east coast, county of suffolk)
Yes Chris, And to put it another way, electronic engineering is both an art and a technology. The one explains the smoke, the other is the methodology of keeping the smoke in the works. The guys who
