[ARC5] WX Report

[Fuqua, Bill L]

  I used one with various receivers, not with an ARC-5 and found it to be surprising sensitive and stable for it's simplicity.
I think part of that was due to its use of harmonics of the local oscillator rather than bandswitching coils as most receivers
and converters of its day. The RF amplifier also helped.

OK, I'll kick us back off to ARC-5s.

Has anyone tried using a Gonset converter as a front end to the BC-946 receiver?

I have both and am tempted to try it.

I have a Gonset Super 6 converter.

I'd love to hear from someone who as actually done it. How well does the combo work?

Respectfully,

Phillip

Greenland is a good example.  Other examples include northern Europe, North America, and so forth.  There were certain crops, that require warmer temperatures that were grown in areas far north of where they can be successfully grown today, during the period before around 1500.  Then, the Earth started into a cooling phase and those crops cannot be grown today.
>> Also, there is a cycle, of about 75-years (not exact, just an average) between temperature highs with temperature lows being in the middle of each cycle, with even more extreme temperatures every other cycle (every 150-years).  During a couple of years in the 1930s, the highest recorded temperature, in almost every state of the union, happened.  In certain states, there have been slightly higher temperatures recorded.  But, in most cases, those locations were not places where such readings were done in the past.
>> There are areas of the world which have been deserts for several centuries that were lush growing areas in the past.  This climate change came long before man had reached the population density any where near that today.  The ocean level has been higher, in the past, than today and it has been lower.  The area around Hastings, where William the Conquer took over England in 1066 AD, was quite different during that time.  It has been determined that the area where the battle took place was nothing like today.  Much of the area was actually under water whereas today that same area is up to over 100-feet above sea level.  This has been emphasized in certain cable television programs about the Battle of Hastings.
>> The Sun plays a VERY significant role in the climate of the Earth.  It also has a definite effect on the temperature of other planets.  That temperature has been rising as well as the temperature of the Earth.  As far as we know, there is not a human population, or any other animal life as well, on those planets to have an effect on the conditions that might contribute to temperature rise.
>> Mother Earth has been taking care of herself for millions of years.  At least to me, man is being very vane by believing that man has any real effect on the climate of the Earth. Glen, K9STH
