Man, what have you been smoking?

raging argument about whether analog TV exists in the US. One person claimign
that the tiniest amount persisting is validation of his argument, when if
anyone had cited similar proportions in any engineerign matter, he'd pour
scorn on them for claiming that a negligible quantity is overridingly
relevant. TOTAL loss of perspective! People losign it that badly, just to
stand their ground. Courage is useless, with such ****-poor convictions to
base it on.

No loss of perspective here.

Simply a matter of someone being an anal and pendatic asshole and having
fun with him.

If someone else had said there are no analog stations, he would have used
the exact same arguements I used as any number greater than zero falsifies
"no" while calling the other person a ignorant troll.

Just in case you haven't figured it out, I concider he who shall not be
named an arrogant playground bully and I poke him just to watch him
rage on and on.

Nothing. I don't drink either. But if you can only think of feeble replies
like those, then you aren't thinking well enough, No wonder you, and so many
others here, go round inj silly little circles. Do you really think that
techncalities explain and shape thew world, and all that is in it? If so, and
you can do nothign but deride all who express anythign to suggest they think
otherwise, then you'll just keep winding yourself round those little circles
while the rewt find other things to do.

Sure, but like I mentioned in two posts some time back, I wondered if you
were doing it partly out of some hidden pain, and later, I wondered if you
just liked being cruel.

Doesn't matter though, my specualtions mean nothing much. What probably does
matter is that the more you engage in it, going round the same little tight
circles, the closer he gets to you, and you het to him, and in the end people
won't care to spti hairs over any difference. If you want better than that,
it's bettert to spiral poutward and look like a metaphysical fool, than to
spiral ineard in a hopeless collision. Works for me, anyway. :)


On a not-very-related note, I wonder how some of the other posters stay
fairly quiet and on-topic with stuff. I think i know, I've been on Usenet
often enough to see familiar names from various groups, electronics, lasers,
etc.. I think they likely have many groups they watch. I was never good at
that, I could never handle the info overload that results, or the temptation
to post as much as that woudl demand. Like the few forums I have ever used, I
always chose to hang out on one place at a time, and usually a peripheral one
at that, to keep out of the busiest groups. I'm sure it's a weakness of mine,
because it's never been entirely successful at handling group dynamics on the
internet. Anyway, I'm returning to a life a lot more like mine was before I
got a net connection, and I just hope that my insight for what it's worth,
does mean somethign to someone. That's why I took this last chance to post it
before I go. I very nearly didn't, another two days, and I'd have managed not
to, but never mind.. :)


The only thing he misses is I don't get in a rage over his posts at all
- he's not worth it. In fact, in a way I feel sorry for him. He
obviously has psychological problems. I doubt he's very successful in
social situations.

I have no idea what the heck you are talking about. You need to come

Could be so. I don't know one way or the other. I do know that I find them
difficult, often intolerable. Schizoid personality disorder will do that to a
person... On the other hand, I am not insane, no matter how anxious I may at
some time past have worried about that, and a psychiatrist told me I have a
'very good insight into my condition', and they left me to manage my
'condition' as I chose, without compelling me to take drugs or other
treatments.

I'm telling you this (and anyone else who has a passing interest) because it
illustrates a basic trust. There's nothing like knowing my own fallibility to
me harder on myself than anyone else is ever likely to be. In turn, it makes
me easier on others. It cuts both ways, the less hard I am on them, the less
hard I have to be on myself. It's a win-win situation, in the long run. But
if I find it painful to be somewhere, it doesn't mean I'm not glad to get out
of it. That's why I say all this. Most people will rarely be that open about
their own weakness. So if I defend myself when there seems so little to
defend so rigorously while attacking others, I haven't distinguished myself
from the problem as I see it. Whetber anything I said will do any good for
anyone I have no idea. I won't be around to see it, probably not even if I
stayed years. The only time stuff like that changes fast is when someone goes
though a life-changing event that usually does a lot all at once.

I'm tired, rambling a bit, going to sleep. If I do not say anymore, it may
mean BT pulled the plug first, or it may mean I just decided not to. I just
decided it would likely do no harm saying what I have said tonight. I didn't
mind saying it, so there it is...

No, you need to get your face out of the dirt. That is all.

I understand completely.

I'm old enough that I've learned people like him just aren't worth
getting all upset over. These people make all kinds of claims - but
when challenged to back up those claims, they try to say "you prove I'm
wrong", just ignore the challenge completely, or try to change the
subject. And when you make a claim and prove it, they just discard your
proof because it differs from their opinions.

It's pretty easy to spot people like that.

Yes, it's 11:20 here, and I need to go to bed, also. Got an early
morning tomorrow and a lot of work to do, since I'll be out of the
office all day Wednesday in a projector training seminar.

Anyone who has a scrapped Yaesu / Sommerkamp HF rig from
30 years ago, or so, will find that for both TX and RX, the
tunable IF covers the 60m / 5MHz band.

I am thinking specifically of the FTDX560 / Sommerkamp 747 where the
tunable IF is 5.220 - 5.720, and covers down to 5.125 off the lower limits
of the VFO, IF is 3.180, so it is (was) essentially a 60M rig with an
Xtal controlled treansverter.

There is a block diagram of the Yaesu FTDX560 on page 3 of the manual
he
http://www.foxtango.org/ft-library/F...ers_Manual.pdf

The IF is 5.52 to 6.02MHz

I'd be interested to know if anybody has successfully mod'd any of the
1970s Yaesus to cover 60m. I have an FT-200, but I'm guessing that's
unfeasible as the VFO covers 5.0 to 5.5MHz
