So thank you for at least keeping rec.radio.shortwave on life support while *serious shortwavers hope for its resurrection. Your efforts are very commendable. disable_crap_filter It's because of half-wits like Mr. Lare that many people don't bother with this potentially-useful forum for information exchange. Despite many valuable and informative posts, it is possible to de- value yourself into the negative. Like a clever employee who is very difficult to manage - the benefits of that talent are somewhat eroded by the enormous amount of dross one has to put up with to get any useful output. If Mr. Lare stuck to the point and avoided getting dragged into every petty little argument, then he would truly be leading the way by example. And, hey, rec.radio.shortwave would actually resemble it's name! |

I have another cousin who was in the AF for twelve years, and well, he's dumb as a brick. He's also been caught shoplifting dozens of times. Just once before the AF tossed him out though.

It wasn't the political stuff that ruined this group. It was all the
HD-radio, IBOC crapola. The IBOC discussion has largely died down since the proponents of IBOC grew tired of trying to convince people that 2+2=7, but the damage is done and it is irreparable. I learned a lot in this group, made the best of it by getting my ham license and have never looked back. And I still like to drop in once in a great while. The group would have to have a moderator or SOMETHING though before it could recapture any past glory. As it is, any good discussion of shortwave is going to be interrupted the second someone like Jose Eduardo (or whatever his name was) shows up with some cockamamie BS to spout. |

Hi, Joe - I guess I've seen these, but I've never trusted them - have you had experience with their improved circuitry? I have. Not so good. They do reduce RF emission, but they don't keep the spike off the line, which creates most of the problems associated with dimmers. I pulled the SCR and Triac dimmers from my house and replaced them with in-wall variacs where I absolutely had to have a dimmer. VERY quiet. Truth is, I don't really need dimmers in the house. Where I'd want mood lighting, there are multiple sources in the room, anyway, I put half of them on one switch and half on a second switch, and then simply turn on the level of illumination I want or need. Outdoor dusk-to-dawn security lights are often as much noise as dimmers for us in the radio hobby. The most common solution is to use a screw-in security light/socket in an outdoor fixture. These screw-in solutions are usually SCR/TRIAC dimmers in a different configuration. Intermatic, however, makes these devices without SCR's, TRIACs or any other similar device. Intermatic devices use a photo sensor, a time constant, and a closure which eliminates flickering in lightning flashes, as well as radio noise. Intermatic screw-in security light solutions are only fractionally more expensive than the cheap crap usually found on shelves. I mean, like, a buck or two difference, if that. End of problems. There is more elegant solution, and that's a separate photo sensor connected to the line that feeds the security lights. Also using a closure, these produce zero noise, no flickering with transient changes in ambient light, they can handle large loads without difficulty, and you can adjust their on and off conditions for optimal performance. For this application, I, again, use Intermatic controls. $12, takes 15 minutes to install. The instructions are clear, concise, and everything you need to do the install is in the package. And no soldering is required. :) |
