Re: RF Immunity in Smoke Detectors

One thing I can tell you is that,when come a time,that you hear in the
background noise stack between 2 large power transmission from somewhere in
Arizona or Utah,a faint signal,coming from south Africa,transmitted from a
low power transmitter (we also do that..) and you are able to make the QSO
and send your QSL card on the next day..you just cant understand the feeling
of achievement you have...all the hard work for building this highly
sensitive receiver,and the time to build the Low power transmitter,and of
course,learning of that damn Morse code...followed by installing that
tower(and having your pal next door asking: when will the alien will answer
you back?) tuning this invert v antenna to have a 1:1 swr ( I know I will
achieve it one day,not just in my dream),all this work just to exchange a "
HI! what's your call letter again? "(not really what I would have sent but I
left this part in plain English not in hammish)..

when this come to you,you now understand what's the hobby of ham
radio,before that,you are just simple nerds trying to fiddle some wire an
tube,trying to make something out of this mess....
