Hadley,
That wasn't "his link". I cannot explain the details
of how this event came to be . . . I know that Matt
has some pretty effective firewalls against spoofed
e-mail addresses. Firewalls that gave me considerable
difficult in sending righteous e-mails to other systems
that had their own firewalls. I had one firewall
jousting with another firewall . . . both put in
place to protect all honorable users. The work-around
at my end was to get a fixed i.p. address assigned to
my portal to the web. Don't know how all that works
but it did ultimately fix my problem.
So just how this particular piece of trash made
it into our community is not known to me. I'm
sorry that it generated so much grief for you.
I tested the link from a sacrificial computer
and AVG screening tools flagged it as malicious
and successfully blocked the mission.
Have you applied any effective tools for cleaning
a computer of malicious software?
With that degree of intractability for clearing
out a malicious invasion, perhaps you're best
advised to regenerate your machine to as-new
condition. Alternatively, most computer stores of
any note offer clean-up/recovery services using
specialized tools.
That being said, let us all take note of Hadley's
experience with respect to embedded links.
The purpose for adding any link to a message should
be to support an existing thread or to bring
some piece of aviation oriented information to
the attention of the List.
Links I post that are not on my server at
aeroelectric.com are tested the downloaded content
screened for malicious features.
Be suspicious of any posted link that does not
have an explanation of what it's about from ANY
member of the List . . . I know that I've posted bare-
footed links in the past . . . I'll discontinue that
practice. Any link I publish will be accompanied by
an explanation of content and, of course, be previewed
here before offered to the List. I would ask that
everyone else offer a similar courtesy when referring
List members to external links.
Finally, avail yourselves of anti-spyware, anti-viral
screening tools. I use several that have, on occasion,
blocked a site from having access to my computer. It's
not expensive, some are free, and while perhaps not
100% effective, they are better than nothing. I'd
settle for 95% rather than run around the 'net
barefooted.
I hope Hadley is able to recover his computer with
a minimal loss of work product. Let his experience
be a reminder to us all that there are risks in
life that can probably never be driven to zero.
I wish now that I had voiced my suspicions of the
link when it first appeared. As it was, I simply
trashed the message. Let's watch each other's backs . . .
Bob . . .

| Subject: | DIY comm antenna . . . Plan-B |
A reader asked if there was enough 'meat' in the connector
base to cut an indexing relief for the lockwasher . . . as
opposed to using glue to fixture the washer. The
answer is 'yes'. See Plan-B version below. Thanks Bill!
---------------------------------------------------
On several occasions I've cited a commonly
marketed insulated feed-thru mounting for CB
antennas as suitable for doing your own
comm antenna. I've seen this part in blister
packs in lots of stores for prices ranging from
8 to 12 dollars.
Here's an offering I spotted on Ebay
http://tinyurl.com/3bq5uhv
Emacs!
The price is right.
You can put a UHF connector on your feed line and
it will connect directly to this mounting. Alternatively,
a UHF-M/BNC-F adapter will let you use the user friendly
BNC-CM connector on your coax.
The other end of the adapter is 3/8-24 thread hole.
Silver solder your stainless antenna whisker into a hole
drilled in a stainless 3/8-24 hex bolt. You can purchase
a 3' chunk of 'piano wire' at many hardware stores. 3/16"
diameter is a good size. Bugger the bolt threads pretty good
(poor boy's lock screw). A chisel works good, just leave first
three threads untouched so you can get it to start. Coat the
threads with grease and screw it into the adapter.
The internal tooth lock washer goes inside between the
doubler and the connector. The skin+doubler thickness
should be .09" or better and braced against stringers
and/or bulkheads if possible. Make your antenna 22 inches
long (total length of base+whisker).
An improved methodology for keeping the lockwasher centered
on the connector is to cut away .015 to .020" of material
off the face of the hex down to a diameter of .500" as shown
here. You can grip the part in a 3-jaw chuck directly onto the
threads. Don't mash 'em and take very light cuts. A couple of
.005" passes produced this end result with no damage to threads.
Emacs!
This modification of the base will keep the lockwasher centered
while you bolt everything up. After all is said and done, here's
what your ready-to-install antenna looks like.
Emacs!
Here's the order of installation on your airplane.
Emacs!

It's happening all over Yahoo, too. Many groups are affected. We
should find the perps and um, beat the tar out of them. Then put them
in jail.

I can suggest the usual:
1. make *backups* of your system(s).
2. for Windows environments, AVG antivirus software is good, as well as
IOBit's antivirus and system optimizing software. Both are free.
3. for Linux, there are several antivirus programs out there, most of
them are free, too.
HTH,

| Subject: | Bad day at the airport. . . |
A friend of mine has been tracking the Reno accident. There's
a picture circulating that shows what appears to be a detached
elevator trim tap on the accident aircraft . . .
That's never a good thing . . . and can be really bad at
400 kts.
