Kirt's Cogitations - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Very impressive cogitation. Have you ever submitted your writings to a N.C. newspaper?

By the way, I am being serious, not sarcastic.

Greetings yendori:

Thanks for the compliment. I have had a couple dozen letters to the editor published over the years in the various towns in which we have lived, but nothing like a feature article. I also managed to get a couple articles published in the electronics magazines (RF Design, MPD).

Sometime in the next couple months, I plan to do a Kirt's Cogitation on the renovation to our current house in Erie, PA, that details some of the measures taken to gain good energy efficiency - including a state-of-the-art AirKrete insulation in the walls. Once the article is complete, I plan to contact the local newspaper to see if they would be interested in doing a story to motivate others in the area to take similar measures toward bringing older homes up to modern standards.

Stay tuned...
