hello Reg I've downloaded some of your programs.
very helpful, thank you very much.
Were you a maths teacher or something like in a past life?

Excellent programs, from Reg for free...

=================================

Not having an Eastern religion I have no recollection of a past life. But
the nearest I ever got to being a teacher in my present life was to teach
myself after the age of 14. It all happened purely by chance.

Although in the last few years of my career I did present, by invitation,
some one-day lectures to international audiences on the subject of how to
locate faults on oceanic submarine cables. And even in those far-off days,
when the repair ship captain chose to go 1/4-speed ahead and grapple for the
cable, depended on what he had had for breakfast. I understand cables now
contain optical-fibers but still contain a few copper wires for fault
location purposes.

But submarine telephone cables were a small part of my career. However they
did introduce me to transmission lines and communications in general. My
first connection with radio began, indirectly, a few years earlier, during
WW2, when I was a mechanical engineering apprentice in the tool-room and
machine shop of a well-known electric-motor manufacturer.
British-Thompson-Houston.

At the age of 16, while high explosives and incendiary bombs were falling on
the industrial City of Birmingam*, I set-up and operated precision lathes
and millers and broaches and shapers to manufacture what appeared to me to
be very small electric motors. (As distinct from anything up to 1000
horse-power motors and generators which was normal production.)

Having joined the RAF in 1943 as a radar technician, in 1944, by chance, I
came across these small electric motors once again. Actually, the articles
I had helped to manufacture were top-secret selsyns to be used to
synchronise airborne Radar plan-position indicating screens with their
respective airborne, rotating parabolic antennas.

The radar equipment was installed in Lancaster bombers, the most efficient
of the RAF's killing machines. The fire storms on German cities, almost as
good as the gas chambers, were more efficient than the Hiroshima and
Nagasaki weapons of mass-destruction. It just took a few hours longer.

The results of the latter weapons, in 1945, I witnessed and spoke to the few
survivors while wearing my blue RAF uniform. There were no signs of
animosity. The Japanese, an ancient educated and civilised people, were as
polite to me as a sort of tourist, thousands of miles from my home in
Birmingham (which they immediately recognised from a map sketched on the
back of a cigarette packet) as they were to each other.

My programs and Mathematics. There's very little advanced mathematics in my
programs. My arithmetic is entirely self-taught. But there's no two ways
about it - maths is either all right or all wrong. And either way it can
eventually be proved. That's the beauty of it.

University professors write books on it, plagiarise each other, and make a
living under false pretences - but they add nothing except something
illogical and misunderstood (usually a language problem) to haggle about in
newsgroups. Same applies to radio. KISS.

The key to my programs is a logical understanding of distributed electrical
circuits. It's just elementary electrical engineering. If YOU can understand
them then you are well away. If you can't understand them then its because I
have been deficient in my introductory notes.

Your comment on the 'excellence' of my programs is appreciated. But bear in
mind, regarding quality, I have never claimed them to be numerically more
accurate than needed for the purpose intended - whatever that may be.

==============================

*On the same night as the infamous air raid on Coventry, a greater weight of
bombs fell on the City of Birmingham and the industrial Black Country. Three
days later fires were still burning in the adjacent town of West Bromwich.
(These days West Bromwich is better noted for its football team.)

But Coventry, the City of Three Spires, three cathedrals, and Lady Godiva,
was the greatest concentration of war factories in the UK. Tanks, guns,
aircraft engines, fire pumps, motor vehicles, communications equipment were
all being made in the city, all intermingled with inflammable medieval
buildings to be ravaged by fire in the raid. Most of the human casualties
were due to a single bomb - a direct hit on an air-raid shelter.

Incidentally, the 3000 MHz, 50 KW, Cavity Magnetron had just been invented
by Randall and Boot in the Birmingham University laboratories which were
themselves surrounded by large factories, under air attack, such as the well
known Austin motor vehicle and the Aerial motorcycle works.

The magnetron was used to guide Lancaster bomber crews to their unfortunate
targets where 10's of thousands of the inhabitants were burned alive, their
husbands and brothers dying on the Eastern Front against Russian rockets and
T54 tanks.

The magnetron was also used in the 5-year long Battle of the North Atlantic.

On the average a 10,000-ton food and munitions ship was sunk every day. More
than 100,000 merchant seamen, civilians, without military pensions for their
families, lost their lives in Davy Jones locker.

Towards the end of the war German submarine crews were on suicide missions.
U-boat commanders, once detected by radar, had little option but to stay on
the surface, uncover the guns, and fight it out. To submerge they were dead
by depth charges. Their precise locations being located and remembered by
airborne radar.

These days we have other forms of suicide. There are people who are living
such enforced miserable lives and in such oppressed conditions they prefer
to sacrifice their own lives in the hope of improving the future lives of
their families and their decendents.

Citizens of the United States, and others, ask yourselves WHY?

Tonight I'm on a Bordeaux Claret. Vive L'entente Cordiale.

Just to quibble a bit, the atomic bomb was efficient for an explosive of
its weight, equal to megatons of conventional explosives. My ship
carried some of the first occupation forces into the Nagasaki area which
I got to see. Our ship`s company armed ourselves and marched through
town to see if it were safe to disgorge our soldiers there. Our captain
outranked the army commander. The Japs were meek. They had suffered real
stun and awe. Near ground zero about all that was left were fire-proof
safes.

News here this week included a story on a German memorial celebration of
the 60th anniversary of the destruction of Dresden by a single
American/British airaid which produced one of those firestorms with
massive conventional explosives and incendiary devices. The Germans
don`t want to forget it.

The raid was of course OK as it was retribution for such destruction of
English and other European cities.

To quibble a bit more, the "Little Boy" uranium atomic bomb dropped on
Hiroshima weighed about four to five tons and was the equivalent of about
10 to 15 kilotons of conventional (TNT) explosives. The "Fat Man"
plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki had the equivalent of about 20 to 22
kilotons of conventional explosives. The variance in numbers is based on
quotes from different sources.

That`s about 3000 times more powerful. Sorry I exagerated in ignorance.
Atomic bombs took destruction to a new level.

Reg,

The alleged conditions you describe are not found in the people who do this,
and if it were present would still have zero bearing on the cause of these
lunatic suicides. Fractional existence and/or slavery may be found all over
the globe and was rarely ever a cause of such insanity. Only the influence
of Islam allows such departure from humanity and any hope of a better life
here on earth. Islam executes this insane belief not only on others, but on
themselves. A combination of education and eradication (genocide) may be
applied as needed to calm this insanity. Londoners have their own form of
insanity, that of banning guns from law abiding citizens whilst encouraging
Muslim Mosques to add to the near 40% Muslim population who preach for the
destruction of the West from inside the London city gates.

Jack, who are the lunatics? To have faith in your religeon or beliefs is not
insane,
We have christians who have faith in religeon and beliefs. In war many have
given up their lives
to save others and we have in fact declared war against a religeon.,
Regarding Londoners having their own form of sanity, go to Hyde Park corner
on a sunday
and hear the free speech that is the right of all even if you may disagree
with it..
Regarding the gates of London of which there are eight which surround one
square mile
if you say that 40,000 dwell inside those gates then many must be squatters
inside the palace walls.
Reg is speaking as a European where the main threat of war in the world is
seen to come from the Middle East
with the help of the U.S. Why else would we deliver 50 of our most
sophisticated deep concrete bunker
smart bombs? Surely not for destruction of tents and shacks but more
probably to penetrate heavily concrete
nuclear energy stations like their own. I believe Reg is sincere and correct
in asking the USA from the other side of the pond regarding what we do in
the Middle East. WHY?
As far as banning guns, I do believe they ban hand grenades and a plethoria
of other weapons that can only
be used to kill people. It is a democratic country and it is the peoples
will, why are you concerned about it?.
If there are many close by to you who have the same beliefs as you regarding
genocide you may have to coinsider
whether you want to kill or be considered to be one endangered by the
killing. Your religion may well be different
to your immediate population

Hello Art,

I've been to London, and I never heard lunatics advocating the violent
destruction of all things related to the "West" as we know it. But then I
stayed out of Mosques, too. The reference to the city gates was anecdotal
only. The 40% was a figure given to me by a London couple I met last week,
when I quoted 30% muslim population living in London, apparently an old
figure. This particular British couple I met happen to approve of both
President George Bush and our mutual (countries) efforts to eradicate
radical muslim actors. They also have a soldier-son in Kuwait so perhaps
they are privy to information we are not.

We have not declared war on the nation of islam, but we should, because they
have long ago declared war on the west and all of our tenets of free
religion, free economies and forms of self-government.

Wise up and stop defending that which is focused on your own destruction. It
has nothing to do with free speech. It has everything to do with survival. I
don't mince words, and genocide is exactly what it will take to survive the
onslaught of islam. Education may prevent it from reaching the level of
insanity it presently enjoys. It enjoys this status largely due to the
tolerance of fools who think their elected legislators represent them.
Perhaps Reg remembers when Chamberlain lied to his countrymen, waiving the
"peace is at hand" (paraphrased, Art) toilet paper that Nazi Germany gave
him. Saying that Islam is a "peaceful religion" is the same rubbish.

Jack

The suicide bombers are lunatics. Self preservation and survival are
natural instincts. When you don`t love life, you`re nuts!

I saw a U.S. Marine in Baghdad on TV yesterday who said he wasn`t keen
on dying for his country but he wanted to live to fight for his country.
He has it right and that marine is apparently completely sane.

Several crusades have been launched from Europe against Islam. Most were
failures. Bush mis-spoke when once calling his Iraq incursion a
"crusade". The war has unified Islam against the U.S.A. But, the whole
Ialamic world has not declared war on the U.S.A. and it won`t. The Iraq
war must be won and the Iraqis must be pacified whatever it takes. The
U.S., U.K. and their allies shall prevail. Why they haven`t hired
soldiers of fortune to imflict on Iraq is a mystery to me.

Islam can be a beautiful, satisfying religion, or it can not. Like
some of the gutter Christian sects infesting America there are people
who profess a belief in God who would use that belief as an excuse
for killing innocent people. People who preach genocide are low,
anti-social, dangerous, and a danger to society and should be locked
up to keep them from doing harm.

Well Tom, fortunately for you, there are rough men ready to fight in the
middle of the night on the other side of the world, in order that you can
sleep in your bed free from fear. As to your thinking that I should be
locked up, I nonetheless defend your right to be a useless twit, unable to
stand for anything, and able to make dribble about righteousness without a
defining origin of those thoughts. Everything is o.k. with you, except
things that suck. Someone should take care of that stuff for you, so you
don't have to worry too much about it. Gotcha. Oh and Tom, we'll be watching
for those zealous Christian sects infesting America, watching for the first
sign of their *suicide bombings*. In the meantime, maybe you can point to
some evidence of Christians doing that anywhere in the world, ever.
