I'm not intending this to be politically partisan so don't read that into it: Solar panel energy is going to become much more ubiquitous because laws will be passed mandating solar panels on new home
Sure--here's an example: You have some piece of equipment that uses relays, the kind that are small pc board mounted jobs. Maybe they switch when you go from transmit to receive. They have 12 v. DC
This may be a bit of good news. Around here a solar company has been trying to get people to sign up, but their business model is something called "community solar." That means they construct some pa
I have a single stage furnace that's about two years old. I did my homework and purchased an American Standard (Ingersoll Rand) running an AC blower motor. It's 80% efficient which is fine in my opin
This explains what I've been predicting for a few years, that ultimately, ham radio on HF and 160 at least, will become a hobby for the well heeled who have a lot of land in rural areas only. Complic

The people who buy electric cars to Save The World are blissfully ignorant of all the pollution associated with making and recycling batteries. They will also be blissfully ignorant of the fact that
That's true, and if as a taxpayer you are happy to subsidize something that the free market should be paying for, namely the EV companies and electric utilities, then bully for you. I however believ
The problem isn't politics, it is a national lack of emotional and intellectual maturity. There is nothing wrong with a congenial political discussion based on facts, although I agree that RFI list
The conversation here was civil and respectful and it is over, only to be perpetuated by people trying to end it. People who are terrified of dialog are the reason why America has become polarized in
For years my radio life was miserable due to a large plasma TV next door. It faced my house and yard and the neighbors wouldn't replace it (for FREE even) and watched a lot of live action sports, the
If I mentioned this before, I apologize. Where I live, there is an initiative or business called "Community Solar." They intend to construct a solar panel farm in some non-residential area. Those so
"Some of you guys must live in great places with lots of contractors looking for work. We tried to add an RFI clause to our furnace/AC install. No one would even give us a bid until we removed the re

For those new to the wall wart waltz, or the switching supply shuffle, there are two things to check: 1. Make sure the linear replacement polarity is correct on the DC plug to the load. 2. Check the
I know recapping a rig like that can be expensive, but to me, 10 months tells me someone didn't really care about hams or FCC enforcement all that much. I know Harris isn't all that good about suppo
Thanks for the update. But stations should budget for maintenance like this. It's a management problem. A lot of what's really going on with an AM like this is revealed here: WNTS-AM also broadcasts
That station is on 1530. It can't be harmonic if it's in 75 m. because there's no 1530 harmonic that falls in the ham band. Depending on how close your friends are to the tx site, the problem could
Hi Gary, pleasant surprise to see you here; thanks for your input. Wheeler's background was the cable TV industry. When he was FCC chair, he completely ignored RF broadcast. He was consumed with smar
I don't know about all Keurigs, but I've repaired a K155 commercial machine, and I can tell you that the digital logic control board, which is a hodgepodge of through hole and surface mount parts, is
