Re: Quiet ... isn't it?
I mean if you openly attack someone else's Religion, whatever it may be, fair enough, but if you just happen to mention you don't personally subscribe to any of whatever versions are on offer, who exactly have you offended? :D That's easy - you've offended anybody who believes in any form of religi...

Re: Quiet ... isn't it?
Nah, they've just let people out. once they get fed up with being outside on nice sunny days, they'll be back.
To be serious, I've noticed a lot of forums have gone very quiet of late - no idea why.

Re: Ofcom released age of radio amateurs data
I thought there was only two age classifications anyway - old and older (with apologies to the 'young-un's')

Didn't watch it, don't have any interest in it and as with any other "news", it will have disappeared from view after a couple of days.

Re: Lots of SWL's on here!
The best working antenna's are those you put up when it's raining (you don't stand out there buggering about with them :D ). Ones you put when it's nice and warm and cosy don't work as well, you spend too much time fiddling with them and inevitably manage to make them worse, or so goes my experience...

Re: Virus and jab.
There was some comment that those that don't get the jab Downunder (New South Wales I think) were going to have their right to go certain places and do certain things curtailed - basically have your rights trampled all over. And so it begins - politicians need to be very careful how they shoot their...

Re: UHF/SHF & beyond
Depends how much loss you can put up with. RG213 would give ~4dB loss over 10 metres. LDF4-50 if you can get some would be a good compromise between RG213 and higher up the low loss coax ladder. ~ 2dB loss over 10 meter's. If you want lower loss, start thinking about taking out a bank loan for some ...
