In addition to
Electronics, my first passion is medicine. I receive a grant, and
have published on various medical topics, including genetics, rare
disease, oncology, aging, Lyme Disease and Co-Infections, and
more. I have also served as an expert witness in Federal Trials involving vaccine injury and
crash safety, and Civil Trials involving Electrical Utilities and
Power Distribution. As a Federal Communications Commission
Liaison Committee Member for the Society of Broadcast Engineers, I
was involved in writing Notices of Proposed Rule making (NPRs), some
of which became part of the FCC Rules and Regulations.
Senator
Rand Paul MD revealed that
27,000 Royalty Payments were made to Dr Anthony Fauci and 2,400
National Institute of Health (NIH)/ CDC employees, amounting to
Hundreds of Millions of Dollars. This means that the people
who determine what drugs and vaccines you can take for Covid, or
those deciding to mandate childhood vaccines for children, can
receive $50,000.00 for each ingredient, process, or contribution for
each and every drug or vaccine they helped develop. They are
not required to report these payments to the public. They
receive virtually $0.00 if they recommend inexpensive
Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin for Covid. Money talks.
If you want to know if you can trust what the government says, ask
an expert on that subject: ask an American Indian. If you want
to know the real story about Covid, I suggest you check out these

Analogue and Vinyl
are making a comeback. Analog is a lost art, and analog
equipment is now at a premium.
Most people have no idea what "Bias" is on an analog tape deck, or how
to align a 16 track record or playback tape head.
Today, many Vinyl records are being cut directly instead of being
pressed. This saves money and extra steps, such as metal
plating and pressing.
Only large, commercial runs are pressed today, many at half-speed
mastering through Abbey
Road Studios in London, at a much higher cost to the end user.
While half-speed
mastering provides exceptional quality for pressed vinyl records,
direct cutting is a close second. Vocal de-essing should always be done
only on the vocal track when mastering.
One company you may wish to consider for making vinyl records, complete
with sleeves and cover artwork, is https://www.tangibleformats.com/
Top 100 Songs: June 7

first place

Recently, I designed and built custom Low Noise Amplifier-Filter
assemblies for the Television Industry,
which also allowed me to attend some interesting events!
I was given a Complimentary Pass and an NBC Sports
jacket on Game Day. I really enjoyed these perks!
GoodYear ran NTSC
at the 2004 Super Bowl. My filters prevented Hi-Def TX from being
blocked by Terrestrial Microwave QRM. This night I was with the
Goodyear Crew.

Around the QTH:
When I say I have QRN from FPL (
Florida Power and Light ), the local power utility, I mean it:
15,000 volt Lateral from 3Ø feeder
arcs to tree and causes RF noise and faults on the utility power
grid. These power outages are totally unnecessary.
Excellent utility company ground splice on the
pole going to my house.
This utility company ground provides excellent balance between phases.
To reduce noise, our power utility uses hollow poles.
Safety comes first with FPL. I just avoid walking under poles so
a fuse doesn't fall on my head.
Surge Protection is important to keep the Ham Shack going. Too
bad the ground is blown off.
I have a 15,000 volt BARE aluminum wire lateral going through the back
of my 1 acre lot.
The use of bare wire is extremely
important. It allows the 3 phase 15,000 volt feeders
to turn into a "Jacob's Ladder" when they come in contact with each
other during
wind gusts. It makes for a beautiful bluish-green flash
that can be seen for miles.
Our utility company always keeps my "drop" trimmed, and the wires free
from vines - NOT.
I also have a little static in my phone when the wind blows.
Don't ask for an audio check
unless you want the truth:
QSC amps drive each speaker pair @
1700 watts RMS per channel. (I Like HEADROOM)
Sometimes the power
company has a problem when I switch in my High Power Linear
Amp. Seriously, this is what happened when one of the series
Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) filled switches
failed when the gas leaked out. The switch connected the Ultra
High Voltage line (500 kv) to an inductor used to cancel
line capacitance.
The town I live in
refused my proposed antenna plans.
I would like to also thank the manufactures of a 15 amp,
3-way adaptor that we used in our 3yr old son's room. A
potential fire was discovered because of Amateur Radio, and the QRN
that I noticed on my radio equipment is credited with saving my son's
life from a possible fire.
Complaint to Underwriters Laboratories:
FIRE SAFETY ISSUE: Device becomes hot,
polycarbonatematerial starts to deform after 8 hour load from space
heater rated at 1200 watts.Measured
AC voltage under load was 117 VAC at the outlet, giving a current draw
of 10.256 Amps.Another
tap of this device had a 16 watt, screw-in, fluorescent style bulb,
used in a lamp.This was
in our 3yr old son's bedroom.The
heater was a model 633 Lakewood, with auto shut-off and tip alarm
(buzzer).The 3-way
adaptor had previously been noted to be warm to the touch after a few
hours of operation, and the plug to the heater was removed and checked
to insure that the contacts were clean.
When discovered, the device was HOT, and was the
source of a "burning smell" in the child's room.The device was like putty in the center, and the circuit
breaker was immediately turned off to the child's room.The device was then extracted from the wall with the aid of
an oven mitten, but the polarized neutral male prong remained in the
receptacle, with the 3 female neutral receptacles from each of the 3
AC receptacles still attached, having been pulled from the overheated
device that was like butter in the center.
I am in the process of building a
new tube linear from a guaranteed tube
I bought off of EBAY from a person with 0 feedback. He says
people in his
country have successfully got power outputs in excess of 2 KW from
this tube,
and he personally tested it before sending it to me.
I am expanding my horizons by
buying a used camera for SSTV:
P.S. If you believe the last
2 items, I have a bridge for sale.

a picture of the Marconi room on the Titanic. This is the
only photo ever taken of the radio room. Harold Bride (in
picture) was the assistant operator. John 'Jack' Phillips died
in the sinking, and his body was never recovered.
Bride,
after rescued, went on to work as radio op on the Carpathia
until they arrived in New York on April 15, 1912. He only
suffered from frostbite for a short while.
