dirty,

I didn’t wait until I got drafted. As soon as my college deferment expired, I flunked out. I got a letter from the draft board inquiring if I was still living there. That did it. I joined the reserves. That was in 1957 and I got out in 1965. By that time I had finished college, thanks to dad, and got no GI benefits since reservists are not vets.

Back to the subject at hand. That method of radio frequency interference you are describing is one of them our receivers are subject to. The other one is what’s coming from the spark. One of these days I would love to have some one sniff around one of our models with the engine running, with a 2.4GigaHertz horn connected to a spectrum analyzer and just see what is there. I am sure there will be bursts of RFI every now and then. The best bet is to just stay away from it.

By the way, thanks for keeping us safe while you were in. I did nothing except pray that I would never get activated. I never did.

Dan.
