Hope it works out Fran!

Tibby... you usually don't need any..."special"...antennas for DTV. It IS a UHF (not VHF) signal. That's all. Some get new antennas because they didn't get UHF band well.

If it's a "you didn't install it properly...fix it" thing... that's different. Make him climb back up there.

 

[AttyPops]

And wow. Very nice. Two fireplaces? You didn't have problems explaining "Santa" to the boy..did you?

 

[tiburonfirst]

very poor signal in our location! hey, what else is new!

the old antenna didn't do it and dh gets upset when he loses directv due to weather. and monday night football is on local channels!
can't get those on dt - that satelite is too low in the sky and blocked by our trees!

[AttyPops]

DTV = digital TV. (over the air) Not satellite TV.

 

[tiburonfirst]

dt in my post = directv

 

[AttyPops]

Well.... "Time to amount to something"...

Laterz!

 

[FranC]

i sure hope something will come out of this, frannie!

Me too. Hubby's out of work til something gets better. It's been slow anyway.

Picked up a couple of disposable cameras today, gonna try to make myself a spot welder tomorrow - to weld non-resistance wire to resistance wire for rebuilding atties (May make a taser with the second if I get the welder right the first time )

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...095-resistance-no-resistance-wire-welder.html

Sounds like a fun project or two. I'd be careful though...lots of danger with little gain...no reason for the spot welder.... That's not to say you can't do it for fun!

Pretty much on target there Atty
Little gain, the flash capacitor in a disposable camera is ~120uF (300V). Folks on that thread seem to have better luck with higher capacity capacitors at a lower voltage, esp.for silver NR. I wasn't able to get a good tack with silver. I was either not tacking or blowing the end of the silver wire up. Did get some good tacks with a SS wire I have. But overall, just easier to pigtail the ends

And, yep, it was fun! bzzzzt - FLASH!

Anywho, I now have a mini spot welder in my arsenal - or maybe a defibrillator for a fairy

 

[tiburonfirst]

at least you survived!

hiya, catt!

 

[FranC]

Did I mention that when I met hubby 21 years ago he was wearing a back brace........

[FranC]

Very pretty Tib. You will love it. Don't know how to find the pic but the sku number is 01142013DSC_0008.

 

[FranC]

Hubby's paying for his rough a tumble younger years of many fights and manhanding motors and transmissions by himself. The patches don't help him much.
