    It was all about EMF and loops that absorbed it. Any luck involved was whether the loop was tuned/angled to the wave that passed thru it.

    Disconnect/open loops because EMF. Lightning strike between my house and neighbor's house took out 2 window AC's and 3 TV's at the neighbor's house, but just a light ballast and the power filter board on my HF rig. If I had had the HF rig disconnected from the power supply it would have just been the light ballast. Power poles are your friend.

    So, a home antenna tower shouldn't have it's own ground? Just bond to house ground?

    Very true, but they are very friendly with China.

  20. AdmiralCochrane
    Yes in many ways it buys much more than it used to. The abilities of a modern cell phone as a computer held in your hand are amazing compared to computers in 1974. That computer power of a cell phone was only available to governments and BIG research facilities back then. What a Boafeng HT can do now for less than $50 was easily $300 or more not that long ago.
  21. AdmiralCochrane
    I agree. It's not so much that you need special stuff as much as $100 doesn't buy $100 worth of stuff any more.
  22. AdmiralCochrane
    Agreed. Results exactly as expected.
  23. AdmiralCochrane
    Well thought out

    I have a metal box with overlap and metal taped edges that my vehicle still detects the fob thru. The chip signal amplifiers are pretty strong. For improved security I took the battery out of the fob and now the chip has to be within a half inch of the start button.

    If you use sort by date, you can usually figure out whether you are about to repeat something someone else posted a week earlier. Sort by votes can hide this from you.

    I would be stunned if the rioters were not using HT's. Also stunned if three letter people weren't nearby using scanners and recorders and I don't mean Uncle Charlie.
  27. AdmiralCochrane
    I'm going to remember that one
  28. AdmiralCochrane
    OK, OK, SUPERSTAR
  29. AdmiralCochrane
    They are to a price point and are bringing in a lot of new interest because they are accessible. All good things

    OK, I am hiding until the admin sees this and deletes. You probably forgot that's a prohibited subject here. A bunch of us did and the admin came in and "cleaned things up"
