So, if you start off at, say, 9AM in the morning, how long is it before you
have checked that every circuit stage of your Japanese rice box is working
correctly, and that the combination of all such sub circuits is working as
it should be, in terms of measurable power output and frequency accuracy,
both at the fundamental and that all the significant harmonics are
sufficiently low?

(This, of course can only be done once that you have gone through a
similar process for your test equipment)

(This aspect of amateur radio does not apply to those with licences little
removed from CB radio, the Fools' and Idiots' here in Brit, and the
inappropriately-named
"Technician" over in Yank)

It would e finished before your receiver project, that's for sure, Big G,
c'mon.

By 09.00, you are meant to have slopped out, eaten breakfast, and sewn up
at least a dozen mailbags, Mr Evans.

I can see that I need to have speaks with the prison governor again.

This is a serious enquiry (despite the infantile attention-seeking from
some quarters) to see if there are any real radio amateurs
about in the world today, or whether the cadre has degenerated to
become indistinguishable from the untechnical consumerism that is
the world of CB Radio.

The spirit of enquiry, curiosity and gentlemanly debate thereto seems
largely to be a thing of the past, killed off, in Brit at least, by the
coffer-filling of the RSCB.

If you have built something that is so unstable that it needs to be checked
for frequency accuracy and harmonics on a *daily* basis, then you are not
competent and should not be constructing things that transmit.

At least we have an explanation for his chronic lack of productivity.
Presumably
he checks his computer to a similar level, including every byte of the
BIOS, OS, and any
other software he plans to use. He would need to do this every day, using
his rather silly
approach, lest a byte has changed. Ludicrous.
I can't imagine many companies being very understanding of a low grade
employee who fails to
produce any work himself but constantly claims to be checking the work of
others etc.
Suddenly is all explained, vapour ware projects, employment issues, .....

Once again, Brian, M3OSN, OM, it is you who originates the personal
abuse that you try to lay at my door, for the thread was not started as such
a vehicle
for me (although you think it to be so for you?)

There are no computers or software in my shack, BTW.

Who said anything about doing it every day? Not I. But perhaps once again it
is you briefly scanning and then jumping to the wrong conclusion?

The purpose of the thread was to suggest that amateur radio is dying on its
feet
and that the radio amateurs of today are little different from CBers, in
that
they buy everything off the shelf, do not understand its innards, and even
send
equipment back to the emporia if ever needing repair.

The purpose of the thread was to start yet another ****ing contest.

The idea that properly designed equipment has to be checked daily is
preposterous.
