When are returning to the Oz1 'handle'. The 'nemisis' thing is about worn
out, don't you think?

It is better.
That BS about wires breaking because of a hard spot where the solder
is, is just that BS!

You'll have many more and far more difficult to trace problems with
crimps then you ever will with solder.


Oz1...of the 3 twins.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

It matches the content of his posts very well.

Isn't your mike cord insulated? If so, I wouldn't think that touching
it
could affect the ground plane.


Jesus Donal, you can't be that dumb....surely!?

Of course I can! Why not? Not all of us can be as clever as you.

Now, why don't you explain my error?

it was weird. So I unplugged the mike to see what that would do. static
seemed to go away when I touched the prongs on the unit.

Where's Bart?

Wasn't Nemisis a Greek goddess with a gold encrusted fishing cap?

Depends on if the crimps are done right.

One problem with solder is that the heat of the solder makes the wire
brittle, then they are more subject to damage from vibration over the
years. Dunno about 'hard spots' but it's true that old wires break at the
solder taper. One old timey boat electrician told me that the trick is to
use just a small amount of solder so it doesn't wick up into the wire
strands.

One thing I do know for a fact.... eithe solder or crimp is better than
twist-N-tape wiring!

What about wire nuts with silicone in them? Made
for wet locations and underground. Seems that
they should hold up in the marine environment.

Was this "other night" about a week ago following the Great Solar Mass
Ejection?

While listening to Uncle NOAA the other night, my radio started cutting
out,
intermittently. Reaching for the radio, as I touched the mike cord the
radio
worked fine. When I let go, static. then the next morning, it seemed to
work just fine. Someone suggested a bad ant. gound (?). What do you
think?

I used to prefer both ..... crimp, then solder.
