That could not be right because the spoon will bend before it balances.

Very interesting all the same.

Wayne,

Try googling "magnet wire" and select "Australia" in the search tools, there are a few there if all else fails.

I herd (sorry) somewhere some blokes chewing the cud (sorry again) over this some years ago re holders of standard or advanced licensees not being qualified to get a foundation license unless they pass the practical exam as that is part of the qualification? I don't know why anyone would want to any...

Well I had some time today to read up on antenna fundermentals and discovered something interesting. American articles on "OCF Dipoles" {see.. PC now !} use the formula of L= 468/F (Mhz) e.g. 468/7.1 Mhz = 65.9154 Feet However, I use the more scientific measure of a metric (rather than th...

Thanks Roger I now realise where I went wrong. How did you find that?

Thanks for sharing this with us Chas and very well done.

Would you happen by any chance to know what the point of the exercise was?

I looked at it briefly and quickly put it in the too hard basket so good on you, how did the grid pack and 60cm dish do?

I don't know what sort of load you invisage but there is a plastic rack of considerable length in electric car antennas that might fit the bill?

There should a few around that have been broken that you could play with cheaply.

Unfortunately commercial manufacture is no gaurantee of safety and like already has been pointed out, anyone can and does wire up caravans and the like no supervision or license required? If you think all the imported stuff that claims to be compliant is put together by suitably qualified trades peo...

A hb9cv or a zl special will not give you as deep a null as what I proposed but it is on the right track.

Wayne, as I understand it which is by no means gospel. If it is absolute gain you are after a director yields slightly more but poorer front to back ratio. If it is front to back ratio you want then the reflector is a better option with ever so slightly reduced gain. An end on dipole without any fee...

I've got 1933 to 1939 A.R. mags as pdfs I have not seen a lot or references to Toyotas or electronic fuel injection in there though

Hi Brian,

There was an article in the September 2007 AR magazine dealing with the noise in a 100 series Toyota it is on page 20 and almost a total cure was achieved. The claimed result was a reduction from 10/9 to about 1/2 an S point on 40 Metres.

Cheers

This was found on the Australian 4WD Action Forums. Re: The D-Gas saga continues.... If its electronic, it can be fixed.......its just a matter of finding someone willing to have a go. I would be looking for a Ham Radio operator.......most are very good with electronics and always like a challenge. ...

Ah so it disassociates the Hydrogen from the oxygen?

You could take it a step further,

A bit more here that might be of interest??

From a failing memory I seem to recall that the Soviet Lunarcods had reflectors too and that was how the missing one was relocated just a few years ago.

Warning Brian, If you put the secret recipe up here you will be loosing or at least substantially reducing your bargaining power :D I had been searching through the junk box for some treasure that I might have been able to bribe you into sending me some chock chip cookies but now I think I'll hold o...

ctcss squelch works for me on those repeaters that transmit tone.

I am reliably informed that it is delightful to bite off diagonal corners of tim tams and drink port through them using afore mentioned tim tam as a straw? While I have never engaged in this folly I have witnessed others practising the art, I had not seen the need to drink port in this manner

What sort of sadistic person would post a picture like this here. On a weight watchers forum I could understand but here
