... As the above is just guesswork and there is no official diagnosis, at this point we can concider him to be just a pain in the butt crank. Perhaps if enough people pour onto him, he will take advantage of that free health care in the UK and get himself checked out. The advanced EM texts all describe the mechanism by which short antennae are poor radiators. How the once-technical Yankland descends into the abyss of rednecked abusive ignorance! Perhaps those legislators who tried to pass a law defining PI as 3 are now the cadre of those holding Ham licences in Yankland? |

The tale of a legislature trying to pass a law to make pi 3 was an April Fool's parody in 1998. http://www.snopes.com/religion/pi.asp It is not surprising the gas bag believes April Fool's parodies, old wive's tales, urban legands, and other such nonsense. -- Jim Pennino |

I can't resist pointing out that the same Snopes article mentions that the Indiana house of representatives *did* pass such a bill in 1897. Though good sense prevailed in the State Senate, apparently. I am quite sure, however, that this does not affect current mathematical thinking in this newsgroup! -- Percy Picacity |

I've seen similar behaviour from those in the early stages of Alzheimer's and if that is the issue, he won't be around for much longer. Or he could just be an ordinary nutter. Well, if he is mentally ill, then by all means let's insult and make fun of him. He may just have been sitting to close to radiating feedlines! Sometimes I wonder if that is what is happening to me! :-) Irv VE6BP |

That was when I was using a Chevy Monte Carlo.. And I tested it several times just to make sure it was not my imagination. I was also running CW, which of course is pretty steady power when actually transmitting. The effect was an uneasy feeling that is hard to describe. I'd feel it after transmitting a while, and it would go away if I quit.. Very weird, but I'm convinced it was not my imagination. I think that was on 80m if I remember right. |

I believe 80 m transmissions are right up there with cell phones and microwave ovens for causing cancer ,no? Until you get to a frequency that causes ionization all you get is heating effects. You don't get ionization until you get to around ultraviolet light. That is not to say the heating effects can't have bad effects on the human body, as they can, but cancer isn't one of them. -- Jim Pennino |
