The average daily sunspot numbers this past week dropped nearly 73 points to 56.4, while the average daily solar flux declined nearly 47 points to 110.7. The average geomagnetic indices were up about 50 percent, but it was still very quiet. The difference was mostly due to events on January 17 when the planetary A index was 13 — higher than in recent weeks, but still moderate. The cause of the…

www.thunderpole.co.uk Here is the link and comes SWR for the usual channels and works really quite well in my opinion. Good Price and sound investment for the cost. Check my video with 26CT483 he was using this antenna when we made contact and was working well into Germany with it. 500w power handling and 1.89cm antenna. Does what it says on the tin. Works well and MADE IN THE UK, BIRMINGHAM by Paul and his team at Sigma Eurocomm and all there stuff works well.

Does receiving a cell phone call interfere with Intoxilyzer 5000 breath tests? Must a cell phone be transmitting to cause radio frequency interference to an evidentiary breath test instrument? Some experts opine that police radios and cell phones are only a problem if there is a TRANSMISSION from the breath room. This video suggests otherwise. This instrument is in need of maintenance. More research is required to determine if approved instruments are reliable when cell phones are permitted in the breath room. Range Exceeded means that the instrument was reading apparent BrAC beyond its capabilities. Invalid Sample means the instrument thought it was seeing mouth alcohol effect caused by recent consumption of alcohol. Almost any error message can erroneously be caused by RFI.
