I got an e-mail from the unknown admin
chastizing me over questioning Tom and what they called other
published engineers.
### so what exactly did Tom publish..... besides Ameritron
manuals?
Jim, I think he may have sent something in to QST one time. However,
comparing something sent in to QST and a true scientific paper is
like comparing apples to horse turds IMHO. There's been some good
ones, but there's been some real screw ups too. Some was the fault of
the QST editorial staff.
### They had this silly roaring discussion on 'AMPS' 2 weeks
ago.... the poor fellow asking the question gets chastised by a
guy
in 9 land ... "Tom rauch already gave u the answer... just ignore
the other 24 reply's" So I guess if u post on AMPS... the only
valid reply is Tom.
That's the very reason I hardly ever post there anymore. At that, I
don't ever see Toms posts as I have him set up in my junk mail
filter. The only way I see anything is from someone else replying to
one of his posts. I found that the best way to defeat him was simply
to ignore him and not to reply to one word he says.
### another fellow I know.. Ken W2DTC wanted to know how much
anode diss is required for a 1500 W pep output linear... running
class A... on AM. They went off on a tangent.. and then some.
Correct answer of course is just 1500/.25 = 6 kw pep input.
PEP Anode diss is of course.. 6000-1500 = 4500 w. Keyed..
with NO modulation... it becomes 6000-300/375 = 5700/5625 w...
CCS diss. A single 3x3 won't do it either. A pair of em
will.. or a single 3x6... or something bigger still. Slick way
to justify a big tube in the shack imo. I emailed Ken... he
agreed... I had nailed it.
### Rauch never did get that one right... neither did the
secret
admin.... nor anyone else.
When this didn't work with me, he went so low as to try and
question my education. When I told him what to do with his
question, the admin privately e-mailed me the chastizing e-mail.
### Maybe some of these guys with fancy degrees..... should ask
for their money back ! IMO, designing and building a linear is
nothing more than a high school science project.... not rocket
science. It's all old news. Some of the implementation
techiniques used these days are sorta new.... for hams.
I highly doubt Tom has a degree. If he did finally receive one, he
slept through some pretty important classes. He told Rich he never
took a course in AC analysis I think it was.
I have the equivelant of an associates in electricity and electronics
which is about all you can get through a state Vo-Tech (or was at the
time), and a BSc in mechanical engineering from Washington
International University. I received it through earned work credit
and a two year corrospondence course after I had started working in a
mechanical engineering department.
He has claimed to have worked with Heathkit, but when asked about
what he did, he chose to ignore the question.
As Paul Harvey said, "... and now you know [pause] the Rest of
the
Story."
