Bacon, BBQ, Beef, And More / Salted Caramel

« on: May 12, 2021, 1054 UTC »

For the past few decades the medical profession have been telling us how bad too much salt is for us, blood pressure, hypertension etc.  Yet, month after month for the past two or three years there are "salted caramel" flavoured things coming on the market.

Salted caramel this and salted caramel that, ice creams, biscuits, chips, drinks, ice cream toppings etc etc.

Salt is just as evil as too much processed white sugar, but no one seems to be laying the "health boot" into salted caramel.

Equipment / Re: RF return issue

« on: May 12, 2021, 1048 UTC »

Make sure the radio is properly earthed too, decent copper strap/wire from rear of set on earth lug to a copper pipe at least three feet long driven into the ground. Copper lead run to earth rod should be as short as possible.  Older Yaesu's need to be earthed properly, otherwise RF issues.
