Hi All, Wishing you all a Very Happy New Year for 2009 with many thanks for the educational and oft times entertaining exchanges during 2008. By the way, so that there is no confusion, I am not the P
Mal, Bearing in mind that I was born in 1943 and did the RAE when it required FULL WRITTEN answers AND hand drawn circuits with worked calculations I consider your remark suggesting an ability only t
Hi All, I think Mal was very nearly there with a solution to thse problems(?) in suggesting operation after midnight (or similar). There might be merit in accepting that all of the experimental modes
I was kinda suggesting that to start a new year in a better spirit we might just find that the "amateur radio" ethos of "self" (meaning yourself, myself, ourselves, theirselves etc.) training and exp
Hi Gary, The only problem I have come across is using it with the "dongle" for Radiocom 4 to control an Icom PCR 1000 Rx. Otherwise there seem to be few problems. I don't think you will "break" anyth
From what I remember, many modern blades will not work very well due to being alloys resistant to "rusting". The blade needs to develop a good coating of corrosion products and it seems not to matter
Hi Roelof, While I am prepared to concede that dyslexia may be the cause of the examples I quote, it does not excuse the misuse of the language. As an illustration the sentences "I have taken their m

Mal, Alan 3nyk and myself were just discussing those a couple of days ago. We wondered how many of us were left who knew how to use a BC221 or similar het. unit. Don't think I can quite qualify as be
Mal, It might just be worth remembering that the original pioneers knew absolutely "zilch" about the science, art or technology we now use. The "expertise" some of us claim is based on an almost ston
Mal, I have been extremely successful of late in not rising to your bait on various topics. This time I really must take umbrage at your rather sweeping statement about the Maritime Service vis-a-vis
Hi Peter, I tend to do something similar to Hugh but perhaps a little less "scientifically" viz.; When playing toroids etc. I determine which ones are successful for a particular application and use
Hi All, As someone who used to be professionally engaged in negotiating with the aforesaid regulator in its many incarnations/reincarnations prior to becoming Ofcomm, believe me it ain't easy! Howeve
YES! Cheers Jim. And I wish you, all of you, every good thing you wish yourselves. Peace everywhere would be a nice bonus too! (And please may I win the lottery!) Lots of luck guys and guyesses for 2
Aahh! But the Belgians further complicate matters by designing beers whose individual character may be best suited to any one of the number of courses that comprise a fine dining experience at dinner
Hi Stefan et. al., Stefan, you might wish to direct some of this discussion towards Alan g3nyk. Some years ago while working together on some commercial applications he and I had very interesting ide
Oh dear Mal! I'm afraid I must, therefore, admit to being a British citizen living in the country of my birth and consequently subject to ITS laws and regulations. I also have to accept that in pract

Yes Gary, It all came together shortly after I had figured out that no matter whether it was string, rubber bands or wire, the connection between two baked bean cans needed to be taut in order for co
