Those types of shows are good for deals on stuff, but the people that populate those things are generally idiots. I have a General class license...studying for the highest one, but some things I still get wrong on the tests - mostly having to do with reading Smith Charts and calculating impedance in vector form. Passed the 5wpm Morse exam...tried for the 20wpm, but missed it by a little bit. Just didn't have enough solid copy to pass.

1. "Hobbyist" is not an adjective, it's a noun. 2. No It may be the coolest way to heat spoons, I'll agree with you on that one. I just know that if I lived down the street from you, you'd be getting a knock on your door...

I'm sorry that emergency communications is more important than heating spoons

Regardless, you're going to get a lot of people pissed off if you aren't careful with an unmodulated RF carrier - especially in Florida, the state that has probably the highest rate of FCC enforcement anywhere.

I'm aware that a lot of it falls under the realm of psuedo-science that hasn't been backed up since the original findings were discovered...

Why do you need an RF transmitter? Any band in particular?

Aren't you a rebel...

Listening test. w00t

uploading pictures for Sean...

Not I...

butt load of 10w resistors for like $1 each cooled in distilled water. 50 of them could probably handle close to 1000w for short periods of time if they are cooled in water. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My guess is the temperature drift is going to net you 5% at best. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Water would suck as a cooling medium...at least at RF, I've seen oil-cooled dummy loads that use a mineral oil to keep things cool.

Him being shot would imply that the French have guns...and know how to use them...

lmao

A year? If I don't shave for a day...well, you've seen the results. Have a safe drive.

One day she will... I think he leaves it there to torment us.

Surround = teh pricey And I don't think I have the room right now to do it right

Order for the Bottlehead Seduction kit goes out tomorrow Soldering tiny resistors to build something that has 100-times the amplification of a line preamp...and factor in AC heated tube filaments...almost as fun as surface mount stuff. And by fun I mean fun like hemmorhoids (sp).

CA.com actually seems to be calmer than what I remember, the idiots are still present but they're less...militant I guess is the word I'm looking for.

*yawn* I can get used to listening to one channel, except for the whole lack-of-imaging thing. There are actually people that spend quite a lot of money on single horn setups, mostly to play 78rpm mono recordings...and they swear they hear a soundstage. Eh. Get another speaker

lol, you're turning into Tom...I've posted assembled pics...though not gut shots of the preamp Fine, fine, I'll take some...meanie

I assembled the amp back again...and put the Mullards in the preamp. Earsex doesn't come close And it's just in mono

So today... * Called the dude up about my check, turns out it went to Blacksburg. Checked UPS, they confirmed it. So I had them leave it in the rental office until I go back. * Got my SSA shirts. I'm wearing the t-shirt now, need to iron the button-up. Werd

Busted.

Most do

dylan - let me die in my footsteps Forgot how good of a song this is...
