[Boatanchors] Carbon Mic Rejuvination

[rbethman]

No.  The majority realize that "ideal" and "theoretical" are pretty much 
the same.

The FETs and J-FETs in my radios DO perform work.

The ONLY time that they are in an *ideal* state is when the radio is OFF.

Practical and functional is useful.

A tire has a fixed volume.  They tell yu to check the pressure *cold*.  
That would be for the obvious reason: Temperature causes the pressure to 
rise.

This is the Boatanchor list.  We normally run them in a non-steady state.

They consume energy, they have efficiencies that dictate power loss.  
Not a single one is using super conductors.

Therefore, we waste energy and give off thermal energy as a result.
