Ferrite Rod Receiving Antenna Properties by the Moment Method

Spreadsheets for calculating and analyzing common properties needed for ferrite rod loaded small receiving loop antennas. (Not really finished but here is what I have got so far).

Ray and Eric's Day Hike Monday, in the "Weavers Loop" Trail Sequence inside of the Superstition Mountain Wilderness Area, west of Phoenix, Arizona on 9 February 2004.

I originally made this as my own diary and photo album of the trip and didn't intend to post it on the web. It has lots of Rather Large and nice Photos with not much compression: I recommend a high bandwidth connection. These pictures are indexed more or less in the correct spot on a topographic map.

Thumb X-ray from 2006

While I was at my dad's place in Missouri over Thanksgiving 2006 I got my thumb broken. For fun I created these pages of the X-rays. Caution: There is no blood and guts but I have discovered there are some people who find even these black-and-white X-ray disturbing (?).
