Are you surprised though?


No, because a sociopath is not consciously aware of the damage that he does.

Tomlinson's one-sided vendetta continues unabated.

For somone who maintains that my complaint against him was trivial and
was dismissed as trivial, Tomlinson comes across as more and more unhinged
by my reacting to his threat to report me to a 3rd party by doing the same
to him.

Never been married? Says it all, really.

Because it is so one sided, Tomlinson conveniently fails to mention that
Fuller was reprimanded for his behaviour.

Tomlinson also conveniently fails to mention that no charges were laid
against me, and
the arrest was occasioned by a malicious complaint from another gratuitously
abusive poster to Usenet, BRIAN REAY, who had
reported many people to the police MERELY FOR DISAGREEING WITH HIM ON
USENET.

One has to ask why did Reay wind up the plodderies to such an extent that 8
plods were sent to arrest me, when I had never been
arrested ever before, and, being a pacifist, have no history of violence?

Tomlinson is also habitually reckless as to the truth of what he asserts in
his infantile headlong rush to
want to score points by being abusive, for resisting arrest is a criminal
offence but no such charge was made.

The term was used to refer to the number of police officers sent to
arrest Gareth Alun Evans at his home on a charge of harassment. The
arrest was also videoed because Evans has a long history of making
frivolous complaints to the IPCC.

--- quote ---

"The court heard how Mr Evans had made 59 complaints to the Independent
Police Complaints Commission about Wiltshire Constabulary."

"His eyes were wide open and he portrayed to me a person looking to
injure somebody," said Sgt Fuller.

"It was a violent attitude towards the officers there to arrest him. It
was a shock and I couldn't understand why he had gone berserk."

Sgt Fuller said there was a struggle between PC Hunt and Mr Evans, who
had then swung round and knocked WPC Sarah Pullman sideways.

--- end quote ---

so not only did Evans resist arrest, he also assaulted a female officer.
"berserk" is a pretty good definition of his behaviour on usenet.

I wonder where you heard it?

It seems it certain parts of the wider realm, they exist and act to punish
those who have acted in a way they don't like.


Like your blackballing of people against whom you operate a childish
vendetta from the
otherwise claimed-open-to-all RSGBTech Yahoo group, do you mean?

The solution is going to have to be no solution, and that is, in moving
the
co-linear from the top of the 14MHz vertical, is to move it with the
current
PL259 / SO239 connection intact and dig up the feeder cable where
it had been cemented over by the gardener's (SWMBO !!!!) creation of
stone steps to the door of her greenhouse


Unthreaded the cable OK, but where it fed up through the hole in my
wooden shed workshop,
I had put the cable in BEFORE attaching the PL259, and it jammed in the hole
when pulling it back through, requiring a round trip of an hour to clear the
junk from
that corner of the workshop and replace it afterwards.

There's always one, and the air was blue, and not from there being no clouds
in the sky!

Using a pipe cutter and the plug as a guide, cut the surplus braid
away.


To give credit where it is due, the use of a pipe cutter is a good idea.

It sure beats the gingerly use of a junior hacksaw!

I'm with him on the method, tin the shield, pipe cutter is good, but
I use en exacto or utility knife, guess my pipe cutters are to old and
dull. It's even worth it to tin the holes on the PL-259 and let it cool
before you start.
Oh, and don't forget to install the sleeve first!!

Actually, there is a minor problem with the pipe cutter, and that is that it
only cuts square
if both of the back rollers are sitting on the material being cut, and the
insulation, where the insulation
has not been cut back, sets the pipe cutter askew.

I keep a small pipe cutter specially for the job. It is a small C type one,
rather than the larger G clamp type. A utility (we would say Stanley) knife
is a bit dangerous in my view, if it slips, used for this task. Ok for the
sheath and inner insulation of course.

Another trick is to cut slowly, so as to preserve the edge on the cutting
wheels. Several gentle cuts, rather than trying to cut too quickly. As a
guide, if you mark the inner, go easier next time. That is my rule of
thumb.

If you think about it, the braid, even when soldered, is probably no harder
than a copper pipe as lead is softer than copper and the braid isn't solid.
There is the tin, of course, but that is why I suggest several cuts.

I've used the technique for decades and I'm pretty sure I've not replaced
the pipe cutter. It has been used by myself and countless licence students
(fitting a plug is required for one of the licence assessments here).

I can't claim to have invented the technique. I'm not sure but I think I
first saw an American amateur use it in the early 80s.

What's the solution to soldering through to the underlying braid in a
PL259 if the only
soldering iron small enough to engage the holes is a low-power jobbie?

Perchance the solution lies in using a junior hacksaw to make a slot
between two of the holes
so the big iron can get in there?

This is for an outdoors connection, so I want to ensure that it is sound.


Some say that I should google before posing a question on Usenet, but it is
my intention to promote discussion in what otherwise tends to be a dying
medium,
especially in uk.radio.amateur where the untechnical abusive lunatics are
taking
over the asylum.

This, now, may be of interest (and also his Part 2 covering RG58) ...
