Define "progress", bearing in mind that the primary purpose of an amateur licence was "self training", not "working CW on 20". I choose to take that as a sign of their low self-esteem Spare us the cod psychology. |

I hope I am as open-minded as the next person, but it is really stretching credulity to accept that anyone could actually find that alleged fact remotely interesting. It's only interesting as in its showing how any stick can be useful to a person of a particular mind-set to beat a dog, as it were, even if the beater can be then be beaten in turn with a similar stick, raising the question of why the mind-set of the original beater impels him to do this self-destructive act repeatedly.

You've obviously read "....even if the beater can be then be beaten..." as a mandatory response that the beater will necessarily be beaten in turn. -- Spike "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him an internet group to manage" |

What STC actually asked was which sideband he should use for RTTY on 40m. Which is, of course, an interesting question as it's not something that was covered in any exam, current or previous. My $0.02 worth is that it doesn't matter, since an RTTY operator will know that he needs to invert the received tones if he sees a string of "46464646" instead of "RYRYRYRY" Here's what was asked, and it wasn't posted no archive, or deleted, or any of the other weak bull**** that Burt has bean spraying around: "Was pottering at my radio last night, heard the scream of data being sent and was triggered to revisit a long parked project; getting going on RTTY! Here's the hardware I'm using: Yaesu FT757-GXii Serial/USB cable interface thing PowerMac G4 running CocoaModem I've got everything hooked up, have CocoaModem configured and displaying a waterfall but when set to RTTY mode it's just decoding gibberish... Other than a couple of short spells at club days, this is my first go at this and I have no idea what I'm doing... Any tips?" https://groups.google.com/forum/#!or...A/_ityI76x0IMJ Good old Burt. |

For example, the uglier the antenna, the better it works. Antennas that are more expensive, bigger, and in violation of local building ordinances, work the best. Experimental prototype antennas always work while the production versions never seem to work as well. If there are two ways to assemble an antenna, the wrong way will have higher gain, lower VSWR, or both. High gain, small size, or wide bandwidth; pick any two. Using these rules of thumb and others, anyone can predict how well an antenna will perform by inspection and without using computer models, Smith charts, or tedious calculations. WHS There has been much talk on UKRA in the recent past about the merits or otherwise of various makes and models of VNAs. It's my view that the point of having an Amateur licence is to be able to transmit signals intended to be received by another station. One of the alleged virtues of a VNA is to be able to set up one's aerial system. However, I maintain that using cheap torch bulbs is an equally valid indicator of the state of tune of one's station, and that a distant station cannot tell the difference between a system set up with the aid of a VNA and one set up with the aid of a torch bulb or two. The PP seems unaware of retarded potentials, and has blustered his way by responding to the question without actually any understanding of the issues involved. |
