Oh.. I haven't been paying attention to myself. They divided the
country at the Mississippi.

Find one east of that river.

I know it sounds like a back pedal, but I haven't discussed this
topic in nearly 30 years.

Low self-discharge NiMH (self-discharge = 15% per *annum*)

It also depends on storage temperature.

Hello Roy,


ACK. But someone needs to tell Bill Gates.

There are plenty of ACTIVE process threads that are ALWAYS running
on say an XP machine that did not exist on say a Win2K or DOS machine.

Event monitors, scheduler timers, Power management timers, etc. etc.
Mostly "advanced" GUI related.

<rant_mode>
I bet that much of that isn't really needed. Then there are the memory
leaks from sloppy programming, TSR type of programs that are abandoned,
gimmicks, defaults nobody selected, auto-update baloney and so on.

[Michael A. Terrell]

AFAIK it is. Are you able to name ANY other AM radio station that
has been assigned that frequency slot?


OK. That meant that other stations COULD be assigned that slot, but
to my knowledge none were. AFAIR there is a western US station set up
for the same purpose, but on a different frequency assignment.

I used to live in Cinci. Quite near the Colerain and Galbraith Rd
Billboard location, in fact.

I worked on the PRC-77 at Cincinnati Electronics, and reapired
headend equipment for United Video Cablevision in Delhi Township.

True, I was only mentioning it for laptop use, not small gear. A camera
or cell phone needs the highest energy density one can pack. But the
trend for thing like cell phone goes into the laptop/OS/SW direction.
Lots of gimmicks added that are mostly of little practical use yet they
guzzle watt hours.

DSLRs are fairly chunky, but point taken.

Finally that we can receive a signal here in the office I am going to
get a cell phone. The simplest one they have already comes with color
screen, games and you name it. What for? All I need is to dial a number
and talk.

You'll probably quickly find that many of the clever 'features' are
designed to channel moolah from your wallet into their coffers.
Downloadable ringtones (charge each), web browsing (extra charge),
camera (costs to get photos out of it) etc. etc. Of the free
features, they really don't cost much. You've already got a ton of
processing power in those things. The features I use most- phone
(dunh), clock/calendar (when I don't have a watch on), and calculator
(comes in *really* handy at times to have a 4-function calculator).
voice dialing is the handiest sophisticated feature.

If its incandescent? No light. If its fluorescent? Maybe. It
depends on the stray RF and the antenna design.

Inside the now gone VOA Bethany transmitter site (Mason, Ohio) they
would stand a four foot fluorescent tube in the corner, and it would
light to full brightness. They had to put it in a metal locker to
extinguish the light.

BTW, I got to see the legendary 500 KW WLW transmitter back in the
late '60s, or '70 while I was in high school. talk about an impressive
antique! WLW and WSAI are just down the road from the old VOA site.

hahahah... CE is now L3 Communications in Cincy. CE WAS Avco
Electronics. I had more than a couple jobs in the Woodlawn area...
(I know, CE was not in Woodlawn, but close).

Jeez... Delhi must have been the only "outside the box" cable
company in Cincinnati. The rest of the town (at least hamilton county)
is wired with Time/Warner, which at that time was the dual feed QUBE
system. Talk about heavy drops.

I have pulled quite a few drops in Cincinnati. One of the longest
residential drops to date, and I wired Paul Brown's (Cincinnati Bengal
fame) house, which was a drop I had to climb trees in a woods to pull.
Not fun!

Yeah, visiting Mason, Ohio was always fun when driving past "The
Voice of America" antenna arrays.

antique! WLW and WSAI are just down the road from the old VOA site.

Cool. A tube amp of that power level is probably some sight indeed.
WSAI moved later, but yeah. Before FM, it was the pop radio station
in town! The FM station was WEBN, and WKRQ.

WEBN and Pepsi and Toyota still hold one of the nation's largest
annual Labor day fireworks displays. It is usually bigger than the
one NYC did for the statue of liberty refurb unveiling.

They started out with just Pepsi sponsoring, and a couple thousand
dollar display. Now, they fill two sets of two river barges, and hold
two simultaneous duplicate displays at over $40k cost synchronized to
a multi-genre musical score! The absolute best seat to have (If you
are not a family and picnicking) is to be driving by on I-71 at the
time, stop on the highway, pull over and watch, then leave immediately
after to avoid the two hour plus clog that occurs.

Great town... hate the winters. After being gone 15 years, I find
out that the whole town has turned into a gang boy haven.

Indeed, I was surprised that even the lower cost phones contain a basic
calculator. But those ring tones I'll never understand. Some kid
downloads a new 'deedle doodle dum trallala', that'll be a buck fifty.
Cha-ching. Plus some pics, some text messages and here goes the allowance.

It would be nice if those phones were more compatible in terms of
programming and less restrictive in the process. Blessing by the
individual manufacturers, membership in some 'programming elite club'
and all that. There are a lot of applications one could write but it
doesn't make sense if you can't offer them universally and all at once
to all subscribers.

(I know, CE was not in Woodlawn, but close).

L3-com has been buying up a lot of small electronics companies and
destroying them. I lost my job when they closed the Microdyne plant in
Ocala.

Jeez... Delhi must have been the only "outside the box" cable
company in Cincinnati. The rest of the town (at least hamilton county)
is wired with Time/Warner, which at that time was the dual feed QUBE
system. Talk about heavy drops.

QUBE = wo 36 channel plants and twice the outages.

Don't forget Metrovision, which had a small area adjacent to United
Video. (Greene township?) I had to design the interface between two
community loops, one sub split, the other mid split. I did it with a
single RCA heterodyne converter at the interconnect point, and two more
in our headend. It cost us less than $5,000, compared to the $30,000 +
they wanted us to spend. The head tech supervised the connection of the
two systems, then informed me that my gain calculations were off by +.5
dB at the interconnect point which was over two miles from the headend.
;-)


I can't remember the name of cable company that had Middletown, but
they reached into the northern edge of Hamilton county, as well. They
had an opening for someone in their design office to do strand mapping.
I was the only one who applied that even knew what a strand map was, but
I wasn't familiar with their mapping software, so they hired an
architect to train him to do strand maps.

I have pulled quite a few drops in Cincinnati. One of the longest
residential drops to date, and I wired Paul Brown's (Cincinnati Bengal
fame) house, which was a drop I had to climb trees in a woods to pull.
Not fun!

I didn't do field work, except emergencies, and a little local access
camera work. The worst job we had was Johnny bench's home where we had
to install two drops, one at each end of the house. One of his TV sets
was on a floating platform in his pool. The installers spent a whole
day doing that job. They could do 3. 12 unit apartment buildings in the
same time and make a lot more money, so they were rather pissed off.

I left Ohio in 1987, and I have lost contact with almost everyone
that I knew up there. My favorite stations were WZIP FM, before it was
sold and changed from country music to WWEZ, Easy Listening. I started
listening to WUBE after that, until I left the state. I went to a
number of the country music concerts sponsored by WUBE, but their best
was a fake concert they did on air, billed as "The greatest concert that
never was!" It would have cost millions to just get all the groups
there, but they did a great job and made it more realistic by not
running any commercials the whole time.

Yes. In Cincinnati, from an installer's POV post wire was where it

I have "popped and dropped" up to 37 units a day with a three man

It was Ken's sarcastic way of saying that I had hit the target dead
on, and that he had lost our bet. The specs allowed for +- 6 dB at the
interconnect point, and he had bet me that I couldn't get closer than +-
4 dB before he left the shop. Also, the community loop was never fully
spliced and tested till that day.

The "Cable gypsies? United Video had to hire them from time to time,
but 95% of our work was done by full time employees. There is nothing
wrong with cable work, as long as you do good work. We had a pretty
good crew of installers and service techs. We had an aggressive PM
program, and repaired 99% of our electronics in house. I took care of
everything from converters, line equipment, headend equipment and
computers for our system, plus a lot of headend gear and satellite
receivers for the rest of the corporation. I repaired over 10,000
pieces of equipment in four years, and saved the corporation several
million dollars.

It also depends on storage temperature.

True, that's at 20oC, but it sure beats self-discharge of 2-to-4%
per *day*, which is the performance of current cells. I measured just
one Panasonic cell: 2.6% / day.

With this new 'Eneloop' NiMH cell, Sanyo has effectively matched one
of LiIon's compelling advantages, IMHO, plus it drops into the whole
Nixxx infrastructure of devices and chargers. And, of course, the
ability to get alkaline replacements in a pinch just about anywhere in
the world.

I still love LiIon cells, don't get me wrong, but these Eneloops will
find a place in my gadgets to be sure.

Best,
James Arthur
