He was successfully prosecuted for stealing electricity or something similar. If this is true (and I have no reason to doubt it), did it make the signal weaker for everybody else? 73 de G3NYY In the version that I heard it was the null that the 'suck out' caused that led to an investigation that resulted in the prosecution. Now whether this is true or not is another matter. 73 Jeff I thought the farmers equipment caused four "nulls", or local minima, in the radiation pattern. -- Regards, John Byrns Surf my web pages at, http://fmamradios.com/ |
