cost saving for mad hatters
I have occasional conversations with a woman who has moved house three
times because of radio waves entering her brain at each location and making her ill. She has metallic mesh over all the windows. Her latest house had a redundant VHF FM aerial with no downlead which she spotted and decided was the reason she felt ill whenever she went near the TV set. The FM aerial was removed and the symptoms she felt were greatly reduced. She has bought a variety of RF meters (mostly from the USA) which give 'confusing' results. Last year her dog developed a small cancerous lump which was, she felt sure, caused by the cellphone tower that she could see from the bedroom window. Today I made a discovery that I think will help her and other sufferers. In Range I found a roll of aluminium cooking foil. It was 75m long by 450mm wide, and was the thick stuff that is quite strong. The price was £6.79, which is 9p per metre. It was labelled 'catering quality'. At home I discovered that this product is exactly the same as a product branded 'Bacofoil, which is sold in 6.5m rolls ('5m plus 1.5m 'free'') at £2.49. That's 38p per metre. When I say 'exactly the same' the two products are made in the same factory and have the same reference number on the little tag that keeps the roll from unrolling. The thickness appears to be exactly the same. The only difference is, the Bacofoil branded roll has a faint criss-cross pattern embossed on it. How this makes it a better product I don't know. The woman who rings me from time to time will be delighted with this news, since she uses a massive amount of cooking foil, not least to wrap around her head and line her bra. The dog's basket apparently also looks very swish with its silver paper covering. Bill |

Hmm, wellits much the same for IPA. If you buy it for tape path cleaning
nowadays, its very expensive in little plastic bottles, but if you buy a big can from cpc, its very much cheaper. I suppose I should comment about this persons radio wave issue, but really its hard to be sure if she is completely hat stand or just misguided. Have you explained the inverse su quare law to her?

Look here http://davidhboyle.com/ Trouble is he actually believes all the crap. I sincerely hope the sluggish response is due to DDNS and not an overloaded commercially hosted web server. I'm finding it slow going trying to ascertain what his views are, other than what the link names hint at. Well, I've gotten to this page, 3 links on; http://exhibitionoftheuniverse.com/ It seems clear to me that it's simply a money making scam preying on the feeble minded. Similar to Russ Andrews' sales technique except, in Russ's case where he's merely targetting the folk with way more money than sense (and therefore excusable), this is a totally despicable scam operation, targetting the folk who are obviously in need of "Care in the community". The trouble is, this David Boyle is far from alone in this activity. The only unusual feature being that it's a UK based operation. Most of his fellow sharks operate stateside, targetting an even bigger pool of hapless victims of a failed education system. -- Regards, J B Good |

They've probably already been damaged by "those evil rays" :-) Talking of strange senses, I have a friend whose her fingers are sensitive enough to feel voltages as low as 5V. She apparently was quite popular at university with the electronic engineers for her ability to run her fingers over a PCB and diagnose which tracks had 5V and which didn't. Even with wet hands to increase the skin conductivity, being able to feel a tingle from as little as 5V seems remarkable. I tested her and she accurately sorted a pile of AA 1.5V batteries into fully-charged and flat by holding each between thumb and forefinger. She once got a "severe jolt" when she happened to touch something in her car that was at 12V as she was driving, and had to stop for a while to let her arms recover before she could drive on. Having this sort of hyper-sensitivity is no joke, it seems. |

Dangers from radiation have indeed been used to support objections to the erection of amateur aerials. Fortunately, in the case of VHF and UHF aerials at the tops of masts and towers, the amateur can correctly claim that the radiation at lower levels is reduced when the aerial is raised well above roof-top level. -- Ian |

The woman who rings me from time to time will be delighted with this news, since she uses a massive amount of cooking foil, not least to wrap around her head and line her bra. The dog's basket apparently also looks very swish with its silver paper covering.

Her latest house had a redundant VHF FM aerial with no downlead which she spotted and decided was the reason she felt ill whenever she went near the TV set. The FM aerial was removed and the symptoms she felt were greatly reduced. She has bought a variety of RF meters (mostly from the USA) which give 'confusing' results. Last year her dog developed a small cancerous lump which was, she felt sure, caused by the cellphone tower that she could see from the bedroom window. Today I made a discovery that I think will help her and other sufferers. In Range I found a roll of aluminium cooking foil. It was 75m long by 450mm wide, and was the thick stuff that is quite strong. The price was £6.79, which is 9p per metre. It was labelled 'catering quality'. At home I discovered that this product is exactly the same as a product branded 'Bacofoil, which is sold in 6.5m rolls ('5m plus 1.5m 'free'') at £2.49. That's 38p per metre. When I say 'exactly the same' the two products are made in the same factory and have the same reference number on the little tag that keeps the roll from unrolling. The thickness appears to be exactly the same. The only difference is, the Bacofoil branded roll has a faint criss-cross pattern embossed on it. How this makes it a better product I don't know.

I find it very effective. http://www.stopabductions.com/ |
