There must be one of the variants of Murphy's law at work here, or
else a dry sense of humour.
"Critique" is a French NOUN. The verb form is "faire la critique de..."
(literally "make the criticism of...."). The English verb is
"Criticise".
Correcting other people's grammar, spelling or punctuation is a
high-risk occupation. Someone will doubtlessly find errors in my
posting, but should they dare post, Murphy will get them too.

Subject: Electric Fence RFI
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I've got some bad interference on 80 through 10
meter bands from an electric fence about 500
feet away. The effect is very sharp clicks
about 3-4 per second. Analog noise blanker
works some but not 100%.
Anyone have any cures?
Tnx,

Use Kerosine (jet fuel or parrafin[UK]), paint thinner
(Turpentine substitute) and a rag. It is messy, but it will work.
When using co-ax seal or other goopy sealers, it pays to wrap
the connectors with PVC tape first, then apply the goop. Then when you
remove the goop, you take off the tape and everything is clean.

Subject: Travelling to Egypt
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
When John, WB6??? went to Egypt in 1989, he applied for an
Egyptian Ham license. After a year of delays, and paying numerous
'fees', he was handed a real license, with call SU1EK. Many of
us worked him on DX nets then. But, it took a whole year!
And, several years later, PTT authorities there declared he had
been operating illegally, although he was on the air regularly
from Cairo for over 6 months. Try finding his call in official
listings today. It's all very 'controlled' by certain people.
