    Keep your phone switched off until you need to make a call, off all night. You may need counseling but you will appear saner and safer for it.

    Ok, so the use of the word 'dictator' is emotive and not quite appropriate in England - yet. But to say that we are run by the (Labour) party is just not true. On the whole the country is, if at all, run from Number Ten impeded or encouraged by the civil service. The elected MPs count for very little and the party count for naught - except at election time.

  6. Re:A much larger problem, pro audio on Why Your Clock Radio Is All Abuzz About iPhones · · Score: 1

    You need to determine how the RF is getting into the mixer, there are three likely routes: Input cables, output cables and power supply (including the mains lead). Check out www.audiosystemsgroup.com/publish.htm for helpful info. Charlie.

  7. Re:Ferrites on Why Your Clock Radio Is All Abuzz About iPhones · · Score: 1

    To be effective the resistance (impedance) to RF needs to be high and beads may not be very effective. Clamp-on ferrites would be better and with speaker leads a few turns could be passed through them. The most effective solution I have found for stopping my amateur radio transmissions effecting PC speakers is to use the 6 inch ferrite rods used in transistor radios. These can be bought from the likes of Maplins, Rapid Electronics and Radio Shack. Wind as many turns of the lead as possible along the ferrite rod and use tie wraps to hold the lead tight. By the way anything that suffers from interference from any mobile phone is obviously not fit for purpose and both Ofcom and the FCC will confirm that. Intercoms, baby alarms, wireless doorbells, £1.00 radios, etc, frequently suffer from RFI simply because they are badly designed. Charlie.

    I will have a word with John Cleese maybe he can camp up Scientology!

  13. Re:Cult != Religion on UK Prosecutors Say 'Cult' Acceptable · · Score: 1

    Actually, consulting my dictionary I find that none of the 6 meanings of the word allow one to distinguish between, for instance, the Quakers or Scientology. I know which group I'm at home with and it ain't no loonies believing in some extra-terrestrial master race rubbish. My soul may be lost but not that lost.

    But Nick Griffen manages to avoid incitement, at least in public. So he's not going to get locked up. We can but hope!

    I would not take seriously a single word that that rag published. A recent example: They published something about my website and claimed to have spoken to me the previously day - a lie. See http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/new s/news.html?in_article_id=395688&in_page_id=1770. They lied, were factually incorrect, they nicked pictures and text without attribution, god help anyone who takes the DM seriously. Charlie.
