I think Bill means ACTIVE noise-cancelling headsets.
Actually, I'm thinking of doing just the opposite. I have an active headset
that is very effective at canceling low frequency noise. Passive hearing
protectors, on the other hand, are very effect at high frequencies, but not
at low frequencies. So, if I can find a pair of ear protectors into which
I can install the earpieces from the active headset, overall noise reduction
should be very good. It's hard enough to hear those weak signals here
in the Black Hole, without competition from all the fans in amplifiers and
computers.

I have a favor to ask.
When you post a question to the reflector, please save all the replies
(public and private), combine them into one document, and e-mail it to me.
I will place these "summaries" on my web site for others to use in the
future (http://www.infoanalytic.com/ka9fox/).
I already have a bunch of them (the list is at end of this message), and
I'd love to do more, but it takes too much time to keep track of all these
threads. There was some great stuff concerning beverages, for instance,
that would have been great to archive.
So, in the future, when you ask a question and receive helpful information,
compile it and e-mail it to me at sneader at mail.ctenet.com. Then, others
will have access to these valuable answers in the future (and it may also
prevent repetitive discussions on the reflector).

Ladies and Gents:
The latest YTAD.ZIP file is available on the ARRL "Hiram" BBS and on
OAK.OAKLAND.EDU ftp site. This version incorporates several bug fixes,
including the one pointed out by N4ZR for his QTH.
In addition, some additional elevation-angle statistical files for England,
Japan and Australian transmitting sites are included.
Have fun and please keep feedback coming.

No, I mean passive. As in they have padding and a hard outer shell to keep
noise from coming in. Active noise-cancelling headsets are extremely
expensive ($700 and up). But passive headsets of reasonable size can only
deaden outside noise by about 24-27db average. Active headsets can do more.

Scott--
Your idea for WEB site summaries is great, but will we be able to also
find our other beloved categories such as: RUFZ, equalization, QRL?,
CQ awards/covers, NAQP Multi-Multi scores, contest-free zones, "I'm
traveling to Saigon this week and want to meet the locals", reflector
admin requests, etc.? We've just gotta have it!
See ya...

Sorry about that! Guess it's the same problem that others have reported
with AOL... if your message contains the code for a slashed zero, AOL
thinks the message is an encoded file.
If anybody on AOL didn't receive my posting "Give something back to ham
radio" please drop me a note (sneader at mail.ctenet.com) and I'll forward a
"good" copy to you.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
