Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

 

I hope you have a very rapid recovery from what ever it is you’re suffering. You’ve got a lot of people hoping for the best outcome.

As we say in Hebrew, “refuah shalayma”—(you should have) complete healing.

 

Literally I can't keep food down I got so weak I could barely move.

Hi Wendy,

Sorry to hear that. I have gotten that way a few times in the past too what i do is just try to sleep and wait until i get better. That's all i can do at that point anyway, but i dont usually worry too much because once the body gets the rest it needs it can recover.

Good luck and prayers for your quick recovery too.

 

Wendy, I hope you recover soon.

 

Wendy, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Just take things slowly and follow whatever they tell you to do.

Ron

I am going to revisit some old threads and maybe start new ones referring to the old threads to finish projects I never finished first time around. Just a heads up.

 

My birthday was last week, it was a bad one due to doctor appointments. In two weeks I had 3 appointments, they are behind me. I always build travel problems in my head. DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) has given me plenty of incidents to fuel my trepidation over the years. I now have several to work my current project I almost have several weeks planned. It takes me a bit longer than it used to.

 

Well a belated happy birthday. Now on to projects.

Belated happy birthday

 

Brain fog has been kicking my butt, where it is really showing itself is in my math skills. I am having trouble doing basic algebra which distresses me a lot. I have several projects in the works where I need this math. When I start them you will know because I will post them here first.

 

i know you have health issues for years and ... as i lack the ability to cheer up and motivate i was trying to stay out of this.
but... let it be known that i am impressed with what you have done and continue to do. keep it up...

Hi,

I actually get that too sometimes so I have to rest before I do anything.

When working math problems always remember, no problem is so great that it cannot be run away from. Seriously I find myself going to the books more these days simply because I have forgotten formulas I could once rattle off and apply with ease..

Hi Ron,

Yes, I am lost without my technical library. I did actually lose some of my books and notes over the years too and find it hard to remember some of it. These days I keep a small fraction of them close by.

 

Whenever possible I keep my references online.

 

hello,

have a look at the books 5,6,10 and 35 of the following page:

https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Bookshelf_Bernards_Babani.htm

there might be more of interest over there.

Thank you, I have added that link to my index.

 

It's interesting to me how times change (or GAWD I'm getting old!). Now and then I go on a parts hunt (or can I build old projects?)

My latest was radios,as in crystal and other types. Anyone remember the 8.8pf-365pf variables for crystal radios and other projects? I remember them as very cheap, the plastic ones for transistor radios were under $5.00, I don't think they exist anymore. Their large air gaped cousins go go $35 -$45.00, depending how long your willing to wait. I have no intention of getting these parts. When I was a teen I thought there was something magical about radio & TV my preteens I watched B&W because color TVs weren't made yet. I used to spend hours listening to our short wave at night. Good Memories. Around the time I started on transmitters (AKA RF oscillators) my Dad developed a new order when his TV reception went south."Turn it off!".

AliExpress has quite a few options—this one is $4.99 delivered, the knob is a buck more.

Several of the listings appear to be new old stock, some tarnish on brass and plated parts.
