My thoughts on the E1's,,,,,,, Too Much Money For The Amount Of
Bread.Interestingly,interestingly,at the foodstore this morning,(among a bunch of other stuff and crap I throwed in my cart) I bought two big loves of sandwich wheat (I know y'all Canadians hate Wheat too) bread (yeah,Canadians,I know,I know,Bread is bad too,but I dont like anything if it isn't bad,especially bad wimmins) ,,,,, **** on it,I have to watch Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines movie on tb (tb,Dennis the Menance,tb) now.Bite my arse,Canadians. cuhulin |

While I don't intend to buy one, (all the jacking around they did for the
last few years has ****ed me off) I do enjoy reading what you have to say about this radio. I REALLY want to hate it due to my feelings toward Eton but it sounds like a real winner and I hope you enjoy yours for years to come. While I DO have a problem with having to have EVERY radio I see (I currently have in excess of 125 various radios) I am doing my best to avoid this one. Like the 800, I believe the radio should be priced in the $200 range. I did buy a refurb 800 which puts it a little closer to reality. Maybe in a few years... Then again, like I said, I have this "problem" I keep telling myself that these radios are my retirement $$$. But I don't have any I want to get rid of..... Anyway, good luck with your new toy. I AM due for a new toy but think next will be a 7030+... "Lucky" wrote in message ... "Ken Ness" wrote in message news:2005080315083616807%kness@attnet...

With my Satellit 700 developing a buzz after a few minutes operation, and with my having to do some repair work on my ancient 2010, the E1 is looking like the perfect bedside/rooftop radio. Can't wait 'til J&R gets their shipment! Like Lucky, I have a thing for radios. In addition to the above units, I also have the 525, R30 (each feeding a speaker through an SE3 and FL3), HF150, SPR-4, Sony 5900 & 7600, and Pete's MW receiver as soon as it's released. Clearly I desperately need another radio! Thanks again, Lucky. Ken Thanks Ken for the kind words. It's actually my pleasure to help people out if it's in my power to do so. I'm so glad it helped you and I didn't post all for nothing. if ONE person like you got enjoyment from it, then it makes my day and I feel more self worth. So, thank you! Lucky |

favorite, but the 7030+ is a great receiver. Steve |
There aint nuttin on Mars that is artificial but the artificial thingys
U.S.A.sent over there.Them Parachutes that landed them thingys on Mars were made in or near Crystal Springs,Mississippi (about thirty miles South (South is always best) of Blueberry doggys www.cattledog.com couch and maybe,just maybe,some of them other thingys on Mars were made here in Mississippi too.Us Mississippi Coon Asses do get around sometimes and poke our peckers around in wimmins,dontcha just know.(Michigan auto industy wouldn't exist if us Suthrons haden't gone to Michigan many years ago) Them Space Shuttle engines are all tested at Stennis Space Center,Mississippi.If y'all ever see any bow legged Cowboys walking around on Mars,it's probally Mississipians. cuhulin |

its a Watkins Johnson Radio.Not when I can buy my bargain cheap priced radios at the Goodwill store.I am headin on over there in about an hour or so to flirt with my wimmins.Hang on,Verna and Pam and Ashley and Darla and Connie,I will be there in a while.Verna wants to see my big male boobies. cuhulin |

Yeah, I love to mess around with wire antennas. I really have no room
at all for it because I live in an apartment. However, I'm blessed because the management company that oversees my building doesn't seem to care what I do or what I put on the roof. So, I've been going up on the roof periodically to experiment with long runs of wire. Eventually, I'm going to get at least one 200 ft random wire antenna up there. The key will be to get it 15 ft or so above the roof, so that it's clear of the building's noise envelope. There's some exposed structural steel up there that should make an excellent ground. I have a Wellbrook 330S loop and I'm very happy with it, but I can't lose itch to mess around with wire once in a while. Steve |

Lucky Golly Doctor Hartley, you sure are swell. I'm talking about The Chinese and Taiwanese and Japanese radio stations, not the people. ''Ethnicity and "race" A stylised Mediæval world map, depicting Asia as the home of the descendents of Shem (Sem). Africa is ascribed to Ham and Europe to JaphethIn Medieval Europe all Asian peoples were thought of as descendents of Shem. By the nineteenth century the term Semitic was confined to the ethnic groups who have historically spoken Semitic languages. These peoples were often considered to be a distinct race. However, some anti-Semitic racial theorists of the time argued that the Semitic peoples arose from the blurring of distinctions between previously separate races. This supposed process was referred to as Semiticization by the race-theorist Arthur de Gobineau. The notion that Semitic identity was a product of racial "confusion" was later taken up by the Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg. Modern science, in contrast, identifies an ethnic group's common physical descent through genetic research. Though in genetic research no significant common mitochondrial results have been yielded, genetic Y-chromosome links between Near-Eastern peoples like the Palestinians, Syrians and ethnic Jews have proved fruitful (see Y-chromosomal Aaron). While population genetics is still a young science, it seems to indicate that a significant proportion of these peoples' ancestry comes from a common Near Eastern population to which (despite the differences with the Biblical genealogy) the term Semitic has been applied.'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semite#...and_.22race.22 |
You sure are wrapped up in the notion of race, aren't you? It obviously
means a great deal to you to be able to fit everyone neatly into the right racial 'category'. I'd like to see you bring that talk to Brooklyn one of these days. There are a lot of people here who'd love to meet you. |
Brooklyn means Broken Valleys.Pennsylvania means Penns Woods.

wrote in message oups.com... Yeah, I love to mess around with wire antennas. I really have no room at all for it because I live in an apartment. However, I'm blessed because the management company that oversees my building doesn't seem to care what I do or what I put on the roof. So, I've been going up on the roof periodically to experiment with long runs of wire. Eventually, I'm going to get at least one 200 ft random wire antenna up there. The key will be to get it 15 ft or so above the roof, so that it's clear of the building's noise envelope. There's some exposed structural steel up there that should make an excellent ground. I have a Wellbrook 330S loop and I'm very happy with it, but I can't lose itch to mess around with wire once in a while. How decent is the 330S for BCB listening? Passport says that it's better than it used to be down there, but the Wellbrook website doesn't claim the entire BCB band for the 330S. I'm rather curious, since I'll eventually have to give up my 50' wire to plant a tree in the backyard, and one option is going with an active loop for the space. --Mike L. |
If you mean MW listening as opposed to MW DX-ing, the 330S should be
fine. In fact, given your location, you could probably use something a little *less* sensitive on MW. Steve |
