N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Jul 31 02:26PM +0100 Intermittant failure to heat. Not due to failing switch, but original plastic stress-relief sheathing at the blue body gone hard with age and causing stress to cable and then a conductor break. Makes you wonder where all that plasticiser migrates to, presumably us , quite a bit.

Just like the buildup of haze on the inside of your windshield after a hot summer. That's your dashboard, vinyl, carpeting, wire insulation, powder coated parts, upholstery, foam, virtually everything in your car's interior except the metal itself, condensing on the glass and every other surface. Good reason to keep the air flowing thru the vehicle as you drive, minimize the inhalation of those compounds. Gotta love that new car smell.

Which will force them to see eye doctors and pay some treatment? Or maybe buying a few pair glasses?   Oh well, I agree, it'll be good business. :)   -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

OK, I know Class 1 is supposed to 100% safe. But ... you know there may be exceptions. :)   -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

micky <NONONOmisc07@bigfoot.com>: Jul 31 04:02AM -0400 Satruday, july 28, at 10:50AM I was driving through Westminster Md, listening to 88.1 FM, Baltimore,and I was getting two copies of the same sounds, one a second or so delayed compared to the other.   This went on for at least 5 miles, at least 10 minutes.   It was nearly impossible to tell what was being said.   How could this happen?   It's a rural area with no very tall buildings and even if there were a reflection, it would not reflect at me everywhere along a 5 mile line.   I've been there many times before, usually listening to the same station, and it never happened before. So I don't think there is a second station on the same frequency in radio range.     Could it be that the transmitter itself was sending out two copies of the sound, one second apart?     After about 10 minutes, it stopped and the sound was good again.

Typically gets corrected before the programming starts again. I think I'm hearing a locally fed commercial and a network based spot at the same time. Sometimes both over traffic or weather... Just poor production.

It looks like they have 2 repeaters. http://www.wypr.org/your-public-radio-fcc-public-file

It looks like they have 2 repeaters. >http://www.wypr.org/your-public-radio-fcc-public-file   Agreed, but WYPR only simulcasts with one station on 88.1MHz (WYPF): <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYPR> The station broadcasts on 88.1 MHz on the FM band. Its studio is in the Charles Village neighborhood of northern Baltimore, while its transmitter is in Park Heights. The station is simulcast in the Frederick and Hagerstown area on WYPF (88.1 FM) and in the Ocean City area on WYPO (106.9 FM).   For a generic FM broadcast receiver, capture effect requires that one signal is 2dB more than the other in order to get a 30dB of reduction in "noise" from the weaker station. If the two signals are roughly equal at the receiver, then you'll get no isolation and hear both stations. Since KYPR and WYPF are both on 88.1 and fairly close to each other, my guess(tm) is that their transmit frequencies are both phase locked to some common reference, and that their audio feeds are adjusted for identical delays. In other words, they're setup for simulcast. However, that's a guess(tm) because I'm in a rush and don't have time to read exactly what they're doing.     -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

Nothing to worry about.   There are counters with handheld laser scanner. And those handheld scanners are NOT placed carefully to avoid customers, at least I saw that in Hong Kong.   Did they do it deliberately? Is it a secret laser experiment?
