An acquaintance of mine worked at one of the laserdisk manufacturing plants for about a year. He told me that while he was there the yield was never over 19%. That means that at least 80 out of every 100 pressed were tossed into a dumpster. They were hauled away and ground up into plastic

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the Ute, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.

Sounds about right. Press 2 disks then glue them together to make 1 completed laserdisk. I remember when laserdisk added a digital audio track. That was cool. You got analog video, and your choice of analog or digital audio. I remember when laserdisk added an AC3 track. Well, they added an ac3

Do a shift print screen of the map. Open paint and paste the image using the editor menu. It can be edited at this point by copying what is desired and pasting it to a new screen. Save as a file that can be opened by picture viewer(bitmap,bmp). Picture viewer has a much better printing

It is decent stuff but it has a silver covered copper clad steel (yes steel, test it with a magnet) center conductor. If you don't immobilize it after installation, you run risk of noise (and other problems) when the steel core breaks from metal fatigue. If it is free, great! Get all you can.

The lower you go in frequency, the more metal you need to make an impact in resonant length. Ever try snipping an inch or two off a 160m wire dipole? Doesn't make a difference until you take a couple feet off. Kb0wlf -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com

I guess I should have simply said the lower you go, the less useable bandwidth you have at a given length. My apologies. As with the aforementioned 160m dipole, I get about 15kHz bandwidth without the tuner. Kb0wlf -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com
