I wish all my neighbors would swap out those old noisy ones
they like to leave running 24/7.
Nothing but the newer quiet ones here,
and other than the 15w in the fridge, no incandescent relics.



I bought my next door neighbors one about 25 years ago. The one they had
was amazingly bad, and they had it going from 630 AM to 11 PM, every
single day. They sometimes left the light on all night, too. I finally
just went and talked to them about it, and told them I would put a new
one if out of my own pocket. The woman next door was from London
originally, and she wondered why the BBC wasn't coming in as well as it
used to. She had an old Grundig SW that she listened to it on every
morning. That sold her on it, so they gave me the ok to swap it out. I
got one that really didn't bother anything at all, and as far as I know,
it's still there.

To the extent he was in the Navy, Steve did the country a great
service.

To the extent he sticks to shortwave, he is a fine contributor to the
hobby (mostly ;-).

To the extent that he pokes the fire on everything political,
Canadian, Gay, non-white, Michael Bryant and other, it is best to just
consider his comments a sideshow. IMHO, that same thing can be said
of every other person who drags out the politics and other unrelated
crapola. They all contribute to RRS being a two-bit circus.

Cuhulin excepted. He's a force unto himself ;-)

Probably so, but that hardly makes him smart or anything else. I have a
cousin who was a Navy F-14 pilot who was killed soon after the F-14 was
deployed due to engine failure. He was very smart. 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.

;-)? Well, ok, mostly.

I remember when it was just a freak house.

Actually, Palo Alto is named for a rather tall and straight redwood
tree that grows adjacent to the RR station in town - literally *the*
Palo Alto. In fact, way back when, I am certain that is how the rail
stop itself got its name. Big redwood? Good landmark, let's build a
station there...

Metinks I am going to bore a vertical hole in what's left of that tree
stump I sawed off at ground level and put a whirlygig on a long tall
wood dowel, or maybe I will tape shut a forty five gallon plastic trash
bag and tie it on there, the Sun will make it rise up.Give those crazy
as hell democrap neighbors around here something to look at.What do you
think, doggy?

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,

Try this. *I screwed up.

The nice thing about having a license is you can theoretically make
people stop using noisy dimmers.- Hide quoted text -

Theoretically indeed.

It's because of half-wits like Mr. Lare that many people don't bother
with this potentially-useful forum for information exchange.

Half-wit? Like you, 'tard boy?

Thirty Mile Zone. You don't have to pay a per diem if the production is
inside a 30 mile radius of some old movie lot.
