Thank you for the kind words but I am truly undeserving of such praise.

It is the duty of all responsible, compassionate and sentient beings to
point out evil, degeneracy and morally corrupt thought wherever we may
accidentally step in it.

I have done no more than you, or countless thousands of decent and
caring folks would have done.

We ALL have an obligation to stop the rot and are possessed of a Divine
Mandate to expose the Satanic Vermin posing as human beings.

I'm pretty sure it stands for "kit", Steve. Or "killer"!

Moreover, no PC near the radio. So, more hardware too. I am
(probably to your chagrin) a pretty old-fashioned guy when it comes to
radio. I like the catch to be fairly tough (although QRN sucks).

Like I said, my antenna is 30' away from my computer. I live in a
neighborhood with underground power lines and no detectable light
dimmers. I can hear very weak stations from Europe that no one else on
the West Coast of the USA can get.

No one? And you know this how?



My K3 was the only 20 meter PSK31 autospotter (out of at least a dozen
on the West Coast) to hear a station from Scotland last week. This
stuff is reported on a Google map in near real time. SWLs are welcome
to participate. It's jolly good fun and boffo yocks. Sure beats
trying[?] to hear 100,000 Watt stations from Maine or Cuba.

Dave, I checked the link but it seems broken. Can you give us a few
details? Freq, antenna, time and etc? This sounds quite interesting.

BTW, you are lucky - My neighborhood does NOT have buried powerlines
(in fact, we have more than our share of aerial cordage) and the noise
levels reflect it. Light dimmers and other noise sources are legion.
Did get some good copy on hams from South America the other night on
40, though - but still have to wait for the sunspots to rise again
before the subkilowatt fleas come banging through again.

I will say, though, that the newest types of spiral fluorescent bulbs,
when new and working properly, give off no perceptible RFI. I am
impressed.

I have noticed noise only when the bulb bearing fixture is plugged into
the same outlet as the receiver and the lamp was also in close proximity
to the radio.

I have no dimmers in the house, so I can't comment on their influence.

I can tell you - they suck. Avoid them at all cost.

That neighborhood is across the Bay from my house, but still - a crash
into a daycare is a real tragedy. I am so sorry for the folks who
died, and for their families :-(
