    Brain storm .It would take some doing but if a person could make a parabolic reflector of the correct dimentions you could drive the guy nuts . What I'm talking about is basically what a satelite reciever uses to concentrate the captured signals to the reciever portion of the antennia .It would...

    As much fun as it might be it would not be wise to seek revenge by causing equipment damage to the perp . Last winter ,if you recall I had problems with neighbors mangy curs dragging my garbage all over the place,getting in my garage and a whole bunch of things .My wife had a chat with them...

    Wifey dear was a city girl,born and bred. Your's truely is a country bumkin . I got the old gal out of the urban and into the rural 12 years ago .It would take a team of Budweiser Clydesdales to drag her back . The comical part of me living in the city was having a bulldozer and a tractor...

    I think SOS goes back to the days of Marconi ,so called inventer of the wireless . Now a long short story .My great granddad ,inventor of the rotary concrete kiln and one time employee of Thomas Edison was of course a tinkerer and puttser .Dabbled in about anything you could imagine . When...

    I'm going surfing on the net about an RF band reject filter .I didn't have time on the other post,had to go to work and just pulled that one out of my old bag of tricks from years ago . They no doubt have better methods than lead in wire and aluminum foil I would think .Besides that just where...

    I'm not sure if it will work or not .Good heavens it has been since 1971 that I actually did any indepth electronics work . I didn't loose all the theory but it certainly is rusty .:)

    I just thought of something .Two things ,kinda stupid but might work .Laugh if you want but a "tinfoil hat " for the speakers . Take two layers of foil and seperate them by about two inchs and surround the speakers ,ground the inside layer . If the seperation is correct as well the thickness...

    RF type interference can come from many different sources. For example because poor wifey has a hearing problem ,one TV is set up with wireless remote speakers . Would you believe those damned things pick up about the second harmonics of 60 cycle hum which about drives me nuts .The source I...

    No it's not for everybody of course . Not my bag although I did run the mobile CB unit back in the day . Some HAM operaters still transmit using code ,now that really is "old School " .I can't hardly remember the stuff myself but one of my military tests required me to send and recieve I think...

    It isn't quite that simple as using cheap speakers .Because of the power level being transmitted and the closeness ,the coils within the speakers act like an anteniea . I kid you not I've seen speakers pick up RF signals and emit sound and they were not even turned on at the time ,rare but it...

    Like I said if that guy is broadcasting with that much power it will be cause everbody problems ,not just B . With the equipment the FCC has it won't take them 30 seconds to find out the culprit . They no longer need to do that trianglulated stuff like you see in WW2 movies anymore . Fact is...

    Just as a general comment ,amature radio is very interesting . Using a set of tiltable well tuned beams a person can bounce the signal and transmit at low power and send the signal thousands of miles by bouncing it off the ionosphere . Even using mobile CB and using a big body of water...

    Ha,been there .They had so many citzens band [CB ] users ,the FCC couldn't keep up with them . I had three tube type Johnsons back then ,still have them . I had applied for a CB license about the time they came out with the Teaberry 1 C radio for $69.95 and the fad went crazy . HAM operaters...

    If that guy has a big enough set of "boots" ie linier amp it will get into everbodies speakers ,'puter ,radio ,tv ,it will get them all . That plus some wireless phones .The whole neighborhood will be up in arms about it if they aren't already . The FCC regs on CB's used to be 4 watts to the...
