Default New Yahooo RFI group

Against all advice I have created a Yahoo news group devoted the
stopping RFI.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopRFI/

Posting will not be allowed.

I intend it to be more of a library then an active disscussion group.

I check into this group several times a week, and if anyone posts
anything that looks RFI related I will copy the link over the my new
group.

Any ideas can be sent to gfreport at hotmail dot com.

If I receive too much spam or abuse I will just kill the group and
abandon
my Email.

R2000SWLER and others think I am plain nuts to even try this.

The group is nowhere near complete, information will be added as I
find it.


A special thanks to W1HIS for allowing me to include his "B-field"
noise sniffing
antenna, to R2000SWLER for his assistance and to RHF for allowing me
to use
his circles of noise discription.

If I have posted, or post, anything that anyone feels I have stolen
from them, please
let me know and I will credit them or remove that information.

I don't see the point of doing this. Most news readers will allow you to
search on words in the subject line like RFI.

If you are interested in older articles that rolled off the news server
you use then you can use Google news groups to search for any subject.

Why go through the trouble to maintain a Yahoo group to do the same
thing that is already available?

From the emails Will has received quite a few SWLs are not up to speed

on
RFI and some of the steps that can reduce it.

At the elast it keeps Will off the streets :-)

You are probably right, (actually, ARE right) if the "Googler" knows
enough to filter and or interpret the data found.

You are very knowledgeable and would quickly find what you were
looking for. Keep in mind when it comes to noise reduction (and by
extension, grounding) is a somewhat complex subject. Add to that much
of the information out there on noise reduction and grounding is wrong
or at least incomplete. Someone who is looking for help often doesn't
understand enough to evaluate what is good and what is bad info.

And, if you go to one of the groups with questions, you often
innocently start a war on grounding! A while back I asked for help in
finding some noise reduction articles I was looking for on another
group, I got lots of advice on "just Google it". I had, and was
unable to find it. William Fieldstone sent me an email with the
information I was looking for plus a lot more helpful things.

So, I applaud him for starting a library of good information that will
hopefully filter out the "wheat from the chaff".

Bob
