This is a Visa card. Scary to think what the hackers will do with these things. We had them cancel the new card - will stick with the old one - we did not request the "Blink" version. We keep our wir
I think that because of "health" issues they run real low power on their activator - doesn't prevent others from running more. -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E FS/Swap/Wanted: http://kd4e.com/swapn.html Fr
Just to clarify, I was not supporting the concern, merely noting that it was an issue raised when RFID was being debated and that those with influence may have forced a "least power necessary" rule a
I have the Spi-Ro 160M traps ("antenna shorteners") here somewhere ... are they any good and do traps typically reduce or exacerbate RF troubles? Right now we live where a full-size 160M dipole, or e
I would like to humbly suggest that we add AFI to RFI, TVI, and EMI as a technological nuisance. At 1:30AM this morning AFI (audio frequency noise) emanated from the adjacent QTH loudly enough to wak
I have thoughts of getting a small really loud generator with a remote start. I could situate it where the walls of a shed would direct the sound away from my QTH. That way I could fire it up wheneve
I am going to try to talk to the neighbor, they are new to the area and he has lots of visitors, he may have been out of town and they may have abused his hospitality. There were some guys visiting a

It depends upon the device and the quality of the installation. Some are still noisy, some are not. Many active Hams use off-grid power sources. What devices has he tested specifically for RFI to br

The claim of the researchers is 10x+ the UV radiation of a typical incandescent. I had trouble with the audio so could not make out a lot of the details. -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E FS/Swap/Wanted: ht

Jeff, W3KI, shared some interesting perspective. Others have noted that we often may have a CFL in much closer proximity than a common florescent tube - so even if the CFL UV level is similar the con
Thanks Dale, Those links appear to be from corporate sources with a vested financial interest in discouraging concerns. History suggests that corporate press releases sometimes overstate or under-sta

I have copied this to the RFI list in case the more-expert folks there have some better suggestions for you ... If 2M FM is all that you intend to listen to then you are OK only using that to test bu
One variable is the size and quality of the contact surface with the slider, poor quality and/or small surface area increases the probability of noise. Also, a poorly sealed unit or one that uses moi
