Sharkey, thanks for the Morris fix. I needed that.

Hello Doug and thanks for the info. I checked the specs for the 120 volt RV model and noticed that it as well as the other 120 volt models draw 1800 watts while in use. That is the absolute maximum current draw that a 15 amp circuit can carry. You would do well to install a dedicated 20 amp (or more...

Hi Doug, I'm curious as to how an Incinolet can work using only about a 100 watts. The one that was at the old microwave site that I worked at contained a large heating coil (about the size of a one gallon paint can) which would glow dark to medium red after being in operation about 20 minutes. For ...

Hi Dennis, about 20 years ago when I was doing microwave radio work at AT&T, we had an Incinolet toilet at one of our repeater locations. It operated on 240 volts and drew either 3 or 5 kilowatts of power (I don't remember which). I used to use it as a load for our diesel generator when running ...

When your goal is boom and thump, fidelity be damned. Save the tubed Macs for those who can appreciate music.

Hi Mark, no need to send your postal zip, I found it. Seems to be that the only station listed as available for your area is KCKA, channel 19.1 in Tacoma. Although only about 8 miles from Winlock, a deep fringe type antenna with an amplifier is recommended. I don't understand this unless maybe there...

Hi Mark, gee, I thought that the transition went smooth since no one posted since the 12 June date. For the most part, the transition has been an improvement at least here in the Los Angeles area. I watched a lot of TV that day and as the analog signals ended, their digital counterparts seemed to im...

I used to have a 1952 Dodge pickup that was very close. From the looks of the hood and trim I'd say this bus (at least the front of it) is a 1951. If stock, under the bonnet lurks a 230 inch side valve (flathead) inline 6 cylinder engine.

Thank you everyone, my concern was that the forum could have experienced damage from the spam attacks. I'm pleased that it is doing well. Again, thank you..

Hello, just came across this while looking at various articles pertaining to digital television. It's loaded with information. I wish I had come across it sooner. http://tvfool.com/

I have had a good thing happen recently. As of 1, June reception for channel 8.2 (White Springs TV) improved considerably. I checked the signal strength and it had gone from an average of 16 to 22db to 27 to 32db and sometimes hitting peaks of 38db. The s/n ratio has changed from an average of 16db ...

Hello and I'm back. It has been about a week since the installation of my new antenna (Winegard model HD7697P). This is their second to the top of the line model VHF high/UHF antenna. Cost with shipping to the Los Angeles area, about $150. I did encounter some difficulty after assembly. I checked th...

It's a small world.. I had one of these things hanging around the place for years and sold it last summer. It was almost identical to the one you have (12 hp single cylinder Kohler engine with 12 volt dynastart type electric starter). Only difference, mine was a straight tractor only. It had a Brinl...

Hello everybody, I know it has been quite some time since I last chimed in. My new antenna arrived about two weeks ago (it was back ordered). My PC came down with a nasty case of H1N1 swine flu where I was forced to perform a brain-dectomy, re-install all operating systems (care of Dell mailed CDs) ...
