ARRL Laboratory Engineer
Radio Frequency Inteference (RFI) matters
Equipment Testing
I want stories about automotive EMI problems, dealings with dealers,
and, if possible, solutions. I plan to forward these to my contact at
the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
If anyone knows the *right* people at any particular company, I want
to know. I am also pursuing (via the SAE) more official channels.
EMI/RFI Resource List and RFI Tips package available. A business
SASE with 98 cents postage is appreciated. Electronic versions
available soon. Please specify the desired documents in your
correspondence.
Many amateur radio informational documents (including EMI/RFI files) are
also available from the ARRL info server. Send E-mail to info@arrl.org
with the word "HELP" in the message body.

I can help people with HF stuff, cheap antennas, and am willing to help
troubleshoot problems with rigs.
I believe that one of the pillars of ham radio - construction/
understanding at the burn-your-hand-with-a-soldering-iron level - is
drifting out of ham radio. With Japanese radios which cost so much,
fewer and fewer hams are willing to risk their warranty to service their
own equipment. I would like to see a turn-around here...

GNU Emacs FAQ: Changes
The latest version of the GNU Emacs FAQ has changed from the previous version.
This article shows the changed text. The contents of this article are from the
output of `diff -wu2'. Since the question numbers are generated automatically
and can change, these are stripped from both versions before comparing them.
After generating the differences for each part, they were concatenated and then
edited to remove as much noise as possible. You can't use this as a patch.
