Fellow amateur radio operators: Over the past 14-yrs I have been
jackbooted numerous times off of amateur radio discussion groups because I
critiqued somewhat less than technically correct statements by a male
friend of the moderator/censor. The first moderated discussion group I
ever joined was AMPS - back in 1996. Within 3-hours I received a
telephone call from the moderator warning me that I would not be allowed
to critique statements from W8JI. When I asked if this rule applied to
sttements that were technically specious, I was told to go easy. Within a
few weeks I had been jackbooted off of AMPS. Thanks to complaints from
technically enlighted members of AMPS, I eventually got reinstated but I
was eventually jackbooted again for the same reason when we got a new
moderator/censor. This happened several times.
I can not understand why any sane amateur radio operator would want to
participate in a discussion group where specious statements from
boyfriends of the censor/modertor are shielded.

maybe it has something to do with the attitude you display on other
Newsgroups you frequent......

Really?

Most people have absolutely no problem with moderated groups, which they
find pleasantly free of crap.

• I'm pretty sure your assumption is spot-on Mr. ______? My problem is
that I can not keep quiet when a technical conclusion isn't right.

• Bert H. are uou comfortable with the statement: that dipmeters are
useless because they simultaneously couple to everything within several
feet? or how anout: resistance wire has reverse RF skin-effect at HF?

Question here for Richard and his wealth of experience, with all welcome
to comment of course;

Does the capacitor bypass techniques described in:

http://www.bunkerofdoom.com/lit/zener/index.html

,have a useful improvement in rf amplifier imd, or have any merit in
your opinion?

I took your advice on 10 ohm cathode resistors (unbypassed) in a cathode
driven sweep tube amp here, and 40m imd performance was substantially
improved.

Thanks for the sb220 improvements also, very beneficial on a HL2200 I
had in the past.

• I've never done an A/B test to see if a substantial bypass C helps
Adrian but since a g-g 3-500Z is quite linear as long as its ZSAC is 75mA
to 100mA, there can be a fairly wide variation in bias potential before
distortion enters the picture.

• good news.

Over the past 10 years, on several occasions I've tried to post
perfectly innocuous and on-topic comments in
rec.radio.amateur.moderated. So far, not one has appeared. What am I
doing wrong?
