A Flexible Plan in Costa Rica
By TED ROSE
Published: March 30, 2003
MY bed had collapsed, the sun had yet to appear, and the wind continued to howl relentlessly at the decrepit lodge in Las Pailas, Costa Rica. I looked at my friend Josh and we exchanged two words: Pura Vida.
Pura Vida is a Spanish phrase meaning ''pure life.'' In Costa Rica, where I was traveling in January, it has been adopted as a cheery greeting, reply and affirmation (''How's it going?'' ''Pura vida!''). At that moment, as we huddled under a volcano shrouded in clouds, Pura Vida represented something much more specific: a way to end this day at a plush yoga retreat.
While planning this trip, I had heard about Pura Vida Spa from a number of experienced yoga students. ''You are doing yoga overlooking an incredible valley,'' gushed Lori, another of our travel companions and a yoga teacher who lobbied hard for Pura Vida, which she had visited the year before. ''I, for one, never felt more peaceful in my life.''
I was no dedicated student, but the prospect of honing my downward dog in the tropics sounded intriguing.
Lori chose to skip the volcano trip in order to check herself in at Pura Vida a few days early. Now Josh, our friend Mike and I followed suit.
Emilio, our cabdriver, spirited the three of us away from the cloud country in his battered green Hyundai, honking his horn at any girl over the age of 12. Eventually, we climbed into mountains. A paved road gave way to dirt, and rundown shacks lined the road. Emilio halted in front of an imposing metal door surrounded by barbed wire. I mumbled something nervously into an intercom and the door swung open.
Pura Vida Spa is on 12 acres of mountaintop, surrounded by coffee plantations. It overlooks Costa Rica's central valley, which is dominated by the sprawling capital, San Jose. As we tumbled out of Emilio's car, I noticed that the grounds appeared spacious and well manicured. I felt conspicuously uncentered and unshaven.
We were greeted by Minor Hidalgo, a businesslike Costa Rican who is Pura Vida's chief administrator. Mr. Hidalgo offered each of us warm handshakes and English greetings while in Spanish he politely refused Emilio's request for an extra tip.
After Mike and I had settled into a simple room with two twin beds and a view of the central valley, I set out to get the lay of the land. We had come for a few days, but I learned that most guests spent a week at Pura Vida, arriving and departing on Saturday. The vast majority were Americans, who flew directly from home to attend a particular retreat, led by their local yoga instructor or a nationally recognized teacher.
Each retreat set its own schedule, some having as many as five yoga sessions a day. We would participate in Pura Vida's house brand of yoga, under the title ''Mind/Body/Spirit Adventure,'' which offered morning and afternoon classes on a drop-in basis.
We arrived in the middle of the afternoon sessions, so my first opportunity to see our fellow guests was dinner in the communal dining hall. I expected a young, primarily female crowd, but instead I joined an older, mixed-sex group lining up.
I noticed a table crowded with middle-aged people in a discussion led by a thin older man with a pointy gray beard. This, I soon learned, was a kundalini yoga group from Austin, Tex., on their retreat, ''Prajna in Paradise.''
I perused the week's schedule, posted in the dining area. (The information, like virtually all communication at the resort, was in English.) In addition to yoga classes, Pura Vida offered nightly activities for all guests, as well as occasional daytime excursions to local attractions. I felt as if I had hopped aboard a New Age cruise ship.
I skipped that night's activity -- salsa lessons -- to rest. I assumed the next morning's yoga class would be intense, and I wanted to get a full night's sleep.
Pura Vida's guest lodgings ring the southern end of the property. On the west end are the cheap digs, a collection of permanent tents called tentalows that share bathrooms. On the east end is the most expensive option: the Japanese Pagoda, which has a king-size bed, a living room and its own Jacuzzi.
A-frame and trilevel chalets dot the rest of the property. Each has its own private bathroom and balcony while the trilevel also has a living room. Our room, a Vista suite, was in a motel-style one-story building to the southeast, but in all other respects was similar to an A-frame chalet.
The rest of the property is given over to the amenities: simple gardens for strolling, a modest pool, an open-air hot tub for soaking, and a guest lounge for watching television.
Then, of course, there's the yoga space. Pura Vida has five studios scattered across its property. Our 6:30 a.m. class met in the largest and most impressive one, Ananda Hall. It is the size of two basketball courts, with a simple wood floor and three walls of sliding windows that offer a stunning view of the central valley.
Our instructor, Michael, led 15 of us through sun salutations while the sun itself climbed over the hills to our left. With a few years of sporadic yoga practice to my credit, I consider myself an advanced beginner student. I found Michael's hatha class straightforward and easy to follow. When we rose from corpse pose just over an hour later, I felt invigorated and ready for breakfast.

Food allergies in schools on the rise - Columbus Messenger

Peanut is the most common food students are allergic to in the district, Fatseas said, but the district also has students with fruit allergies such as strawberries and peaches, allergies to eggs and multiple allergies such as soy, milk and cheese.

"This next school year is going to be a scary time because prices are going up," Fatseas said."A food cooperative is getting the best bang for commodity dollars."Fatseas advised the first step is to choose the top 25 items and rotate them every month, which is something most districts already do.By having rotated items and knowing about how many students are partaking, those figures can be used to determine how much of something to purchase, such as Smuckers Uncrustables - the secondary entree choice at Reynoldsburg.Each February, food service directors receive the amount of funds it will receive from the next school year from the U.S. Deaprtment of Agriculture.Those commodity funds can be diverted to purchase different items, such as chicken can be sent to Tyson for chicken nuggets, probably the top school lunch at each school, or peanut butter commodities can be sent to Smuckers to make Uncrustables.Although brand name products are typically more expensive, using commodities and purchasing through a cooperative lowers the price, Fatseas said.For example, a case of cheese-filled bread sticks may cost $55 but through the cooperative $36,

Product Description
From Amazon
In the 1960s, Roger Zelazny dazzled the SF world with what seemed to be inexhaustible talent and inventiveness. Lord of Light, his third novel, is his finest book: a science fantasy in which the intricate, colorful mechanisms of Hindu religion, capricious gods, and repeated reincarnations are wittily underpinned by technology. "For six days he had offered many kilowatts of prayer, but the static kept him from being heard On High." The gods are a starship crew who subdued a colony world; developed godlike--though often machine-enhanced--powers during successive lifetimes of mind transfer to new, cloned bodies; and now lord it over descendants of the ship's mere passengers. Their tyranny is opposed by retired god Sam, who mocks the Celestial City, introduces Buddhism to subvert Hindu dogma, allies himself with the planet's native "demons" against Heaven, fights pyrotechnic battles with bizarre troops and weapons, plays dirty with politics and poison, and dies horribly but won't stay dead. It's a huge, lumbering, magical story, told largely in flashback, full of wonderfully ornate language (and one unforgivable pun) that builds up the luminous myth of trickster Sam, Lord of Light. Essential SF reading. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk
From the Back Cover
Earth is long since dead. On a colony planet, a band of men has gained control of technology, made themselves immortal, and now rules their world as the gods of the Hindu pantheon. Only one dares oppose them: he who was once Siddhartha and is now Mahasamatman. Binder of Demons. Lord of Light.--This text refers to the Paperback edition. See all Product Description

One of these techno-Gods, preferring to be called Sam rather than Mahasamatman, feels that the mistreatment of others is morally wrong. He thinks that he and his peers should share their technology with the lower strata. His peers insist those beneath them are incapable of dealing with godlike powers and need their hand to guide them. Sam never claimed the mantle and though he hates what he feels he must do, this "fallen angel" leads a revolt against his ruling brothers and sisters as he wants to establish a different world order.
This is a deep science fiction novel with religious and social overtones. The story line is loaded with action, but also takes its time to defend critical arguments set forth by author Roger Zelazny. The cast fosters the concepts of the plot so that development is targeted more towards an idea than a character. Still with all that this is a cerebral tale that will have readers pondering a host of subjects from comparative religions to white man's burden to fostering American style democracy in Iraq, etc. in a clever novel that will require concentration or one will miss a point.
Harriet Klausner
The premise is that an interstellar colony has, so long ago that the events are no more than legend, been turned into an effectively eternal dictatorship by the starship crew, who with the aid of advanced tech have acquired the aspects of the Hindu pantheon to lord it over the poor peasantry. (There's also a dour Calvinist theocracy elsewhere on the planet, but that's another story.) The protagonist is Mahatsamatman, known as "Sam", a man who is not, in fact, the Enlightened One, (though everyone insists otherwise) but is close enough. He decides to overthrow the whole miserable structure, and that's the story in a nutshell. Battles, conspiracies, encounters with alien, and not very advanced, energy beings, betrayals, disasters, and all else follow, in the style of the great Hindu epic the Mahabharata, along with plenty of 20th-century wise-guy prose. (Zelazny was also a student of Chandler.) This is a great roaring monster of a book, of a kind that would have a very hard time getting published today. (It's also *structured* like the Mahabharata, with vast chunks of out-of-sequence narrative--the first chapters occur *after* the ensuing two-hundred-odd pages--which would be guaranteed to drive the current generation of editors out of their minds.Read more ›
These technologies are used to solidify the power of the Deicrats, the ruling elite of the planet. Morality is secondary to how well one supports their grip on power. Those who oppose the structure are destroyed. Those who are in power, the ones who hoped to style themselves after gods, are driven by the same dark emotions that have powered mankind through history: ambition, jealosy and greed. This story is about Sam, a man forced to choose between joining with this system of power, or rebelling against it.
While this is a relatively short book (by modern science-fiction standards), it is also dense reading. Slogging through the first chapter and a half is necessary before things really start to click along.
This is a novel that is rich with ideas. It demonstrates the harm that can be caused by caste systems borne out technological haves and have-nots. It portrays the classic theme of "absolute power corrupts absolutely," but also shows that goodness exists within a few humans to oppose corruption. It does both of these against a unique, Hindu-inspired backdrop supported by the necessary science.
Your enjoyment of this book will probably be driven by the type of science-fiction reader you are. If you want something heavy on ideas and milieu, you will probably love this.Read more ›

The seven member communities that make up the North Shore Fire Department will benefit from a $1,605,000 refunding of the 2003 bonds used to finance the construction of Station 5 in Bayside. Bayside borrowed $2,530,000 in August 2003 to build the station.
The Bayside Village Bond tonight acted on the sale of the bonds. Bankers Bank of Madison was the low bidder with a true interest rate of 1.7607.
James Mann of Ehlers said the size of the refund was downsized by $30,000 after the bids were opened because of savings in various underwriting and rating fees.
The refinancing will save $117,000 over the term of the bonds, which will be paid off in 2023. Each of the seven communities pays a share of the debt and will share in the savings.
Moody's Investor Services rated the bonds as AA2, citing Bayside's ample financial reserves and affluent tax base. It also noted the village has seen only "modest assessed valuation declines in 2009 and 2010."

I use this for astronomy. Serves the purposes of a beginner amateur astronomer
I bought the Nikon Action EX Extreme 10 x 50mm Binoculars for my husband for his birthday a couple of weeks ago and he loves them. He is looking forward to using them when we go to the coast next month. I would definitely recommend the binoculars. The clarity is great and for the price, you can't beat them.
I just bought these and as advertised they are of sturdy construction and the optics are great. But a word of warning they are heavy, too heavy for my 5' wife. I got them mostly for use on my boat where I needed the power and the weather toughness for short period observations.
I have no regrets. Meets all my standards. Needs a carry bag with a strap.
These are a truly great pair of binoculars. Crystal clear viewing and ease of use make them well worth the money, not to mention the warranty of all warranties...You won't be sorry with these binoculars.
These are the best binoculars I have ever used, great clarity, detail and sharpness. Don´t waste your money with cheap binoculars, be sure to get this model they totally worth every dolllar.
Great binoculars but Nikon Action 8 x 40 have an even sharper image for birding and are much cheaper.
I just wanted to add on to all of the great comments about the Nikon 10x50 Action Extreme. Very sharp, bright, and easy to use. The best binocular that my family has ever experienced. It would be difficult to beat these binocular and the warranty, especially for the price.
GREAT binoculars! Oustanding optics far beyond the price point. Solid well built equipment. Fits in the hands well, rugged construction, easy to operate, A must for every LE/Patrol officer.
These are great ATBs. Vary clear. Use them every day. Good quality binos.
awesome product and very good price.

Welfare State
Despite a rapid increase in wealth and living standards over the past few decades, more Australians are dependent on the public purse than ever before. Today, almost one in six working age Australians relies on welfare for all or part of their income. A growing welfare state means an ever higher tax take is needed, bringing more taxpayers in to the welfare system. How can government promote individual responsibility and self-reliance, while still providing a safety net? How can patterns of joblessness and dependency be broken?

M1KTA's QRP ham radio blog: PTO VFO
If you go back through lots of amateur radio designs, you'll find many, many circuits that use the nearly uniquitous 365pf air spaced variale capacitors that were nearly ubiquitous up until about 25 years ago. In the last couple of decades however, they have become like Avatar's unobtanium, seemingly impossible (or at least expensive) to find. One solution to this problem is to use varactors controlled using variable resistors (which are still relatively easy to find) but another interesting technique is to build your own variable inductors. Hence, was born the PTO (permeability tuned oscillator), a nifty little homebrew circuit and gizmo that can provide a variable frequency oscillator. M1KTA talks about building one of his own:
M1KTA's QRP ham radio blog: PTO VFO.
I've had this in the back of my head as an interesting project, so seeing notes on someone building one is inspiring.
On properly operating a WSPR station…
Anyone who is subscribed to the QRP-L has likely been subjected to a long string of complaints against WSPR in the past week or so. This began with a generic complaint against a "consistent carrier" on 7.040. This rapidly decayed into a long series of rants against WSPR. Since I'm rather more fond of WSPR than the average QRP-L member, I chose to defend WSPR's place in the ham radio universe.
But amidst the general complaints, there are a few points which they make which we should all take to heart. First of all, in the United States we are not allowed to operate automatic beacon transmitters below 10m. This means that you have to be in control of the station, and operate it in a manner consistent with Part 97 regulations. I'm not sure what that really means in the context of this mode, but I suspect that it means that running your beacon all night while you sleep isn't actually legal, as fun (or useful, I would argue) as it might be to see those spots from New Zealand that occur at 4:30AM local time when you wake up and have your coffee. I believe that all hams should endeavor to operate their stations in accordance to regulations, so I think that we as WSPR operators should be at the control point of our stations when transmitting WSPR. I also think that this point of legality isn't adequately emphasized in existing documentation, so new users of the mode may be unaware of this issue, so it would be great if we had a more prominent notice on WSJT's site, and on wsprnet.org.
Beyond simple legality though, I've seen that the QRP-ers have some basis for being irritated beyond the mere legality of this operation. In the last 24 hours, I've logged one particular station who has operated at 100w output power, and for quite a while, was transmitting about 50% of all slots, including many back to back slots. This resulted in spots with a SNR of +5 over distances of 12000km. This isn't a WSPR, it's a rock concert. I think its good to keep WSPR at QRP levels or ideally QRPP levels. And let's keep our transmit percentage down to 20% or less. As WSPR has become more popular (and it has become much more so even in the last few months, with dozens of stations on 40m and 30m) we'll need to reduce the time we spend transmitting to mitigate collisions.
And let's be especially careful around 40m, okay? 7.040Mhz isn't the best choice of frequency, frankly. Lots of old time rock bound QRPers still claim it as their own, and while nobody owns a frequency, we should be courteous to all hams.
A Self Contained QRSS beacon…
Paul, M1CNK, has a very nice webpage that details his QRSS beacon, constructed as several different kits assembled as modules. Very cool.
Autodyne receiver for WWV
While scanning QRP-L today, I found an interesting link to a project which gave some details about a little WWV receiver that can serve as a frequency standard. I haven't had the time to work out how it all works, but it looks reasonably straightforward:
Here's the original schematic from Chuck Adams, K7QO:
Nick, WA5BDU has some variations and additional comments which are interesting:
VA3STL's QRP beacon
Alan, VA3STL posted a nice list of captures of his QRP beacon on his blog, including a link to a spot of him that he got from my grabber. I didn't notice it then, but now that I'm back on 30m, I'm seeing it nicely at the moment:
Softrock Lite II arrive!
On Saturday, I sent a check off to Tony Parks, KB9YUG on Saturday along with my order for two Softrock Lite II receiver kits: one for 40m, and the other for 30m. I hope eventually to liberate my FT-817 from its current beacon duties on my grabber site and replace it with this simple little $12 receiver. Not sure I'll get to it this weekend, I'm a little out of practice for my surface mount soldering technique, but I'm hoping to get to it soon.
In the mean time, here's a link to WB5RVZ's awesome builder's website to show you what it all entails.
More Meter Madness
Okay, after having read WB8ICN's postings on QRPedia, I decided to try to measure the impedence of both of my meters. I dug a 1.5M ohm resistor out of the pile, and hooked some jumper leads to it. I then did the following:
- Measure the resistance of the resistor, using the DVM as an ohm meter (R)
- Measure the voltage of a 9 volt battery, using the DVM as a volt meter. (V)
- Hook the resistor in series with the battery, and measure the resulting voltage. (Vm)
What we are looking for is the resistance of the meter, which we will call Rm. A little math should show that Rm = R * Vm / (V - Vm). Okay, that heavy lifting aside, let's see what we discovered about my two meters:
For my better meter, a nice Radio Shack PC interfaceable multimeter, I got the following readings:
- R = 1.496M ohms
- V = 9.24 volts
- Vm = 7.94 volts
Plugging these values into the formula, we get a value for Rm of 9.18M ohms, considerably off from the 10M ohms that we used as the "nominal" value. Later, I'll go back and work up the correction factor for the previous nights example, but for now, let's move onto my second meter, a cheapy $20 one that I've used mostly to check my car battery and continuity. I recorded the following values:
- R = 1.480M ohms
- V = 9.14 volts
- Vm = 3.68 volts
Plugging these values in, I get about .997M ohms, or about 1Mohm! No wonder my previous readings were so crazy, with the 4.4M ohm resistance of my series resistors, this thing was dividing the peak value down considerably.
Okay, let's go back to my dummy load experiment. First, on meter number one, we find that Rm of 9.18M ohms. If we go through my various calculations and correct for the measured values, we find that the output power should be around 4.71 watts. Doing the same for measurement number two, we'd get an output power of around 4.67 watts, both in excellent agreement!
(Note, I didn't measure the voltage drop of the diode, I'm assuming 0.7 v. The data sheet says the maximum drop would be 1v).
The Tale of Two Meters
Well, I've been mucking around with my RF probe circuitry a bit tonight, and encountered something pretty strange. I have two digital multimeters lying around, and my newly rebuilt RF probe/dummy load that I described earlier. I hook one multimeter to it, and I get a reading of 14 volts. I get my other cheapie meter, and I get a reading of about four volts. Yet, both are probably "correct". How can that be?
Well, first, let's review the circuit that I have revised to:
I have used a different diode (a 1N914, which is probably better than the 1N4001 that I had in there previously, but not as good as the germanium diode you see in the schematic) and didn't have any 4.7M ohm resistors, so I hooked two 2.2M ohm resistors in series. The voltage drop for the 1N914 is probably about 0.7 volts, but haven't measured it. The purpose of the 4.7M ohm resistor is to convert the peak voltage (as gathered in the capacitor) to RMS voltage. How does this work? Well, if you imagine that the meter has some input resistance, then we basically have a voltage divider: the voltage that is measured by the voltmeter is the peak voltage, multiplied by the resistance of the meter divided by the sum of the meter resistance and the 4.7M ohm resistor. In years past, where this design was first put out, the common impedance for meters was around 11M ohms. So, the voltage we get out is the peak voltage * 11 / (11+4.7) = .7006 * the peak voltage. The peak voltage is sqrt(2) times the RMS voltage, so the RMS is the peak divided by sqrt(2). 1.0 / sqrt(2), which is .7071 or so, so the 4.7 Mohm resistor would be about right for a voltmeter with 11M ohm resistance.
Reading up on the subject, modern digital volt meters have an input impedence of 10Mohms. To figure out what size of a resistor we need for that, we solve 10 / (10 + R) = 1/sqrt(2) for R, and we end up with about 4.1M ohm resistance. I ended up approximating this by two 2.2M ohm resistors, which is closer, but still not perfect.
Okay, so that's my thinking. So, I jumper the thing to one of two meters, and get a reading of about 14 volts. This indicates an output power of 14*14/50 or 3.92 watts (this was my FT-817 in 5 watt mode). The number is small, but I expected that. I haven't accounted for two things: either the voltage drop of the diode, nor the problem with using the wrong series resistors. Instead of dividing the peak by the sqrt(2), I am multipling by about .694. Still assuming a 10M ohm resistance, my 14 volts should have been about 14.17 volts, plus the voltage drop (say .7 volts). This works out to about 4.42 watts. In the right ballpark, given that we didn't really measure the impedence of the meter.
But here's the odd thing! I hooked it to another, cheap meter of mine, and got only 3.92 volts! This is a budget DVM, which probably cost me about $10 that I have used mostly to check to see if my car battery is dead, but the difference is startling. The only conclusion I can draw is that the cheaper meter has a dramatically different impedence, probably around 0.5 Mohms. To test this idea, I measured the peak voltage at the junction between the cap and the diode, and both meters were in agreement. Interesting!
Through a coincidence, WB8ICN has been examining the same issue on QRPedia. He suggests using a potentiometer hooked to a regulated power supply, and measuring the voltage as you adjust the potentiometer until it reaches half the supply voltage, then the potentiometer is set to the impedence of your meter. Of course, with a little algebra, you don't need to do that: you can just measure the voltage drop of any resistor with a resistance of a 1M ohm or so, and work it out. I'll probably do that for both my meters, and then stick a little note on them so I remember.
Oh well, that's my electronics tinkering for the day.

Diodes for RF Probes
My dummy load experiment still has a few unanswered questions, but I found that the ARRL Handbook has had a circuit which is basically what I built, minus the one series resistor. It looks like this:
Okay, they use a germanium diode with considerably lower voltage drop, and include a 4.7M ohm resistor in series to the DVM. This circuit also appears on the QRPEDIA posting on RF probes, and apparently is constructed as part of the assembly of the Elecraft K2.
Here's a posting talking about how the different diodes make for different performance.
Dummy Load/Watt Meter Experiment
Okay, this is pretty basic stuff really, but it's part of my trip toward additional homebrewing, and it might be of some vague interest, so here we go. If anyone spots anything horribly wrong here, please feel free to help me learn by leaving me a comment here.
Before Thanksgiving, I was having quite a bit of fun with my FT-817. I was getting five or six good 40m/30m PSK31 contacts per night, and was getting pretty regular spots on my 30m WSPR beacon. I had a bit of a hiatus, and only recently got back on the air, but was having much more limited success in PSK31, so much so that I was wondering if my antenna had failed or my coax had gone bad.
The coax seemed a likely culprit. It's that crappy stuff that Radio Shack sells, and I hadn't gone to any effort to waterproof the junction where it joins the balun on my 40m dipole. Water could conceivably have gotten into the coax during some of our recent damp weather, and could have caused some additional loss. How could I tell?
Well, the answer is pretty simple: get a watt-meter, and measure the power at the back of the transmitter, and then at the far end of the coax, and see what the difference is. There was only one problem: I didn't have a watt meter.
So, I built a (crude) one.
The basic QRP watt meter is a combination of a dummy load, and a simple rectifier/capacitor circuit in parallel. The dummy load provides the appropriate 50 ohm load, and the diode rectifies the code, converting it into a DC current, which is then used to charge a capacitor. If you measure the voltage across the capacitor, you can compute the power pretty simply. Power in watts is just Voltage squared divided by resistance, so if you square the voltage and divide by 50, you get the power.
Yes, yes, this isn't quite right. I haven't taken into account the voltage drop of the diode, but let's run with this.
So, I went into the junk box (which I've been trying to add stuff too, dug out a rectifier diode, one of my larger 8ufd caps, and a pair of 10w, 100 ohm resistors (more on this later). I also dug out an SO-239 socket that I picked up from Radio Shack. Here's the resulting gadget.
Using my cheap old Radio Shack digital multimeter, I clipped some test leads to measure the voltage between the diode and the ground. I took a 1 foot cable, hooked the load to my FT-817, and tested it out. Setting the FT-817 to its max power level, I turned on the transmitter and measured the voltage. I got a reading of 19.2 volts with this (essentially non-existant) cable run. If you multiply this out, we get 19.2*19.2/50 yielding about 7.372 watts (a bit higher than the nominal 5 watts that the FT-817 lists, but we'll get back to that later). On its low setting, the voltage read right around 6 volts, yielding about 720mw.
Allright, that's my baseline. I then took the dummy load outside to the far end of my cable run, and hooked it up there. The results were 17.8 volts (yielding 6.337 watts) and 5.5 volts (yielding 605mw). How does that compare with the nominal result we'd expect from RG-58 over a 50 foot run on 40m? The coax calculator can tell us. Plugging in 50 feet of RG-58 with an SWR of 1:1 on 7.07Mhz and an input power of 7.37 watts, we find we get about 0.5db of loss, and an output power of 6.587 watts. Similarly, if our output power was 720mw, we'd find about 643mw as the output power. That's pretty darned close to what we expect from RG-58.
So, my conclusion is that my coax, while not the greatest stuff in the universe, isn't a complete dummy load. If I'm going to blame my relatively poor recent performance, I'll have to look elsewhere for a scape goat.
Okay, here's some open questions. First of all, the resistors I chose. They were $0.99 at Fry's, but their body seems to be made out of some kind of ceramic. There is a possibility (even a good one) that these resistors are internally wirewound, which means they aren't necessarily entirely resistive: they could have an inductive component. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of resistor? Should I find some others?
Secondly, I didn't account for the voltage drop for the rectifier diodes. The diodes were something that I dug out of my junk box, and I'm not even sure what type they are. I imagine they have somewhere between 0.5v and 0.7v drop. Technically, this means that the voltage measured at the cap is low by that amount, so the power should be a bit more.
Thirdly, I am confused by the values that I got. Especially considering the above, these power values seem much higher than the nominal values that we are supposed to get from the FT-817. The nominal maximum power should be 5w. I am suspicious that we are mixing peak and RMS voltages/powers here, since the values that I got are almost exactly sqrt(2) off from the values that I might expect, but I haven't worked that out entirely in my head yet.
Anyway, that's enough for today.
Addendum: This site has a circuit which is essentially what I built (different diode, and I am using a volt meter, rather than a current meter). It does indeed seem to indicate that the voltage that I'm reading out is the peak, not the RMS voltage. I'll have to think about it some more.
Addendum2: Wes Hayward, W7ZOI has a writeup based upon the exposition in EMRFD which would be good for me to understand.
Addendum3: Yes, the resistors are probably wirewound (these cement power resistors apparently almost all are). I'll have to go find some 200 ohm, 2 watt resistors to gang up in parallel.
Addendum4: I can't stop! Another potentially useful link for measuring low powers, might be useful when I get to my QRPP beacon project.
MEPT beacon visible in Ohio
W8LIW's grabber on 30m is currently showing my "MV" beacon transmissions as well as the DFCW of VE1VDM (I presume) and the flying W of W1BW, as well as the faint sawtooth of WB3ANQ. I can't spot myself on W1BW's grabber at the moment: my ability to get into Concord, MA seems limited over the last few weeks.
K6HX beaconing on 30m with WSPR/MEPT
Okay, I hadn't been doing any WSPR beacon operations since before Thanksgiving (which was also before my new callsign) and I was kind of bored today, so I dug out my power supply, tuner and interface and set my computer beaconing again on 30m. It's a combination beacon: using WSPR above 10.140100, and a visual "MV" written as part of a sawtooth in the visual MEPT portion of the band (between 10.140000 and 10.140100 Mhz). Output power is about 4 watts, split between both signals.
I'd be interested in any reception reports.
Addendum: Click this link to examine the reception reports I'm getting via the automated WSPR logging.
Today, on Jan 2, I got a reception report from W1BW, and I could faintly see my "MV" appearing on his grabber:
You can see his "flying W" very strongly, and if you stare really close (click on the smaller image) you can see my MV which looks like part of a sawtooth around 23:22 (and other places).
Addendum2: Alan, VA3STL in Ontario also noticed my signal on the 2nd. Here is his screen grab, showing both my MV and my MEPT signal.
K1EL mounted in a case…
Well, this morning I decided I wanted to get the K1EL keyer that I put together mounted in a proper aluminum case. The sad thing was, I didn't really pay enough attention to internal clearances, with the net result that I did a pretty crappy job. I'll probably try again sometime soon, but in the mean time, it's at least functional, and is no longer at risk of being yanked apart.

Pitchers and catchers have reported for spring training; now it's your turn. The Tosa Baseball League is registering players for baseball and fastpitch softball. Children who live in Wauwatosa or attend Wauwatosa schools, and who are between the ages of seven and 15 as of September first, are eligible to play.
Tosa Baseball, which was founded more than 40 years ago, is an independent league. The league encourages a competitive level that is age appropriate for each bracket, and players get the opportunity to learn and play multiple positions to determine their best place to excel.
"Children develop athletic abilities at varying ages, so we ensure that all players see even playing time," emphasized James Ingbretson, league president.
Tosa Baseball is a co-ed league and is divided into four divisions: Rookie, for ages seven and eight; World, for ages nine and ten; American, for ages 11 and 12; and National, for ages 13 & 14.
Tosa Girls' Fastpitch is similarly divided into Junior, Minors, Majors, and Seniors.
Teams are drafted in late March or early April, and outdoor practices start in May on local fields in Wauwatosa and Milwaukee; however, registered players can take advantage of free indoor practices at Tosa Baseball's Extra Innings warehouse, located at the corner of 92nd Street and Center Street.
Games begin in June and are played through mid-July, at which time the league holds a tournament. At the end of the season, every player receives a recognition trophy.
Registration is available online http://www.leaguelineup.com/miscinfo.asp?menuid=32&url=tosabaseball&sid=455425696. The cost is $165 per player, but rebates are available for families who volunteer.
"The success of this league is dependent on volunteers and sponsors," said Ingbretson. "Many of our coaches played Tosa Baseball as children. The coaches, our team managers, equipment managers, special events coordinators and other key volunteers make this a fun, safe league for our families."

Oracle Recovery Manager ( RMAN) Hands On Practice
By AVargas-Oracle on Jun 05, 2008
Oracle Recovery Manager, RMAN, is at the same time simple and complex, it's sintax can be as direct as 'backup database' to make a whole database backup, and as complex as it can be to make possible the most sophisticated and complex backup and recovery tasks.
This post covers a series of tests I did prepare to show how Rman works, the tar of the scripts contained on the guide can be downloaded here.
This RMAN Hands-On guide, once you have configured the environment, can be followed in about 3 hours, it covers the basics of Backup, Restore and Recovery of Oracle Databases using RMAN.
This hands on practice is organized into 4 chapters
Each chapter contains a set of scripts that can be executed in order to implement the practice, it teaches the following points:
- Build and administer an Rman Catalog
- Use different techniques for backing up a Database
- And the most important: How to restore and recover the database in different crisis scenarios

Sabres demote Brayden McNabb to AHL
Updated: February 2, 2012, 3:25 PM ETAssociated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have demoted defenseman Brayden McNabb to AHL Rochester, where the rookie will have the benefit of getting more playing time after missing eight games with a concussion.
Coach Lindy Ruff announced the move Thursday, saying McNabb has been cleared to play.
Ruff says McNabb was sent down to allow him to get additional ice time. That's unlikely to happen in Buffalo, where Ruff is comfortable with his current six-player defensive rotation.

Choosing the Right Hedge to Prevent Future Problems
The correct hedge can have many benefits to a garden. It can act as a screen reducing visual impact as well as being an effective security deterrent.
An appropriately chosen hedge can form an ideal garden boundary, but the wrong hedge can cause problems.
High Hedges Legislation
The High Hedges legislation, introduced on 1st June 2005, means you have a responsibility for looking after the height of your hedge so it doesn't block light to your neighbours property.
The legislation applies particularly to fast growing conifer trees, such as Leyland Cypress hedges.
Further Advice
Further advice on choosing the right hedge for your garden can be found on the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) website.

Greek Life:
I am a Sorority Sister and have loved it. It has given me so many opportunties to meet people and to give back to the community and college through our events.
Greek Life:
I am a member of Phi Mu. We try our hardest, just like other sororities, to have greek unity. Being greek doesn't make you better than anyone else but it does help to involve you in campus activities and in the community. Almost everyone that you meet though were or are greek affiliated.
Greek Life:
They come to class hungover. Also drive drunk.
Greek Life:
The Greek life on campus is fairly acceptable. The fraternities and sororities are not that big but students apart of it are no different from the students that are not. Being in the Greek life isn't a bad thing because you will have the opportunity to meet more friends and be apart of a long brotherhood and sisterhood. On our campus everyone apart of the greek life is considered family. On our campus there are about 4 fraternities and 4 sororities.
Greek Life:
I am a part of a Greek organization myself. I can say that Greek life is an experience that makes your college years the best experience of your life.
