Re: Significant bush/scrub fires 2010/2011

Only problem with linking FESA Alert is the alerts expire, so following the link days later, no info available. Hmmm... we may need a permalink function..., but then quick posts won't be so quick.... Colin. [quote="Zebedee"][quote="Helitak_670"]Mods, perhaps links to the Fesa web...

Re: BNC (PL259) Custom Wall PLate.. Help?

If you are more concerned with loss than looks you could run the coax through a blank wall plate with no connector straight into the back of your equipment.

Nice looking wall penetration, no additional connectors, but consider that during lightning you could have a live wire inside the room.

Re: USA is a joke

Hmmm.

What do they do in the case of a bushfire?

How does $75 compare with our own ESL?

Does ESL apply to metro ratepayers?

Glad we don't have this system here - I'd be inclined to break ranks and put it out - but my job wouldn't be on the line as I am "only a volunteer."

Re: Idea for possible new streaming scanner

Sounds great - I have been considering streaming my local BFS (Northam) from a Linux server, but haven't had the time.....

What do you consider your local BFS?

Maybe not as many, but certain residents of Toodyay think this has been a bad season - so far....

Someone at Micro$oft must have realised that XP is better than Vista, 'cause you CAN downgrade to XP, not Vista.
