A high power RF LDMOS transistor

It is.

Yes, and your desire to see Hillary win the presidency will do precisely zilch to remedy this sad state of affairs.

Funny how you avoided mentioning Switzerland in your european summary, Bill. Now I wonder why that might be....?

Slowman is such a dumb ass he doesn't understand that what masquerades now as a college "education" only prepares one to be on welfare.

We went to VI for breakfast this morning. I was almost reduced to tears by the satisfaction of seeing complete families, FATHER and mother and well-behaved children, and conversation rather than everyone gawking at their separate "smart" phones. ...Jim Thompson

Intelligent, effective, and widely despised. He delivered the black vote for at least two generations, though. Even if he did screw over the blacks, and the cities, at the same time.

Haven't all recent presidents been "widely despised"? Soft money and pressure groups are a scourge.

Would you prefer to have a stupid ineffective president? Do you that would be better for the US?

An increasingly rare sight nowadays, owing to Western governments following the sort of policies advocated by BS. :(

Slowman _does_ have appropriate initials >:-} ...Jim Thompson

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

-William J.H. Boetcker

Not if you're a hobbyist with access to dozens of retired analog TV modules :) The BLF278 isn't quite as grunty, but still...

How is a 25W or 30W transistor in the same class as a 1250W one?

How fast? I recall you reproducing McEwan's claim of a 1kV step in 1ns, after I brought that up here years ago, and the possibility was debated. I forget what you used then.

Am I right in saying that the 1.6 + j5.0 input impedance in that 2m amp implies an input capacitance around 680pF (5 ohms at 146MHz)? Or is that the differential (series) capacitance between the 2 gates.

I'd like to learn more about how these transmission-line transformers are designed... any pointers? or any discussion?

By other politicians? No, not really.

In the case of LBJ (or Jimmy Carter or Barak Obama), you bet!

Jim Tohompson is such a dumb-ass that he thinks that all colleges are equal , and everything that can be described as a college education can be tarred with the same brush.

Jim went to MIT and John Larkin went to Tulane. They don't seem to have lea rned quite the same sort of stuff in the process.

The US has 4,726 tertiary institions which can describe themselves as colle ges. The quality spans a vast range, from a few that are amongst the best i n the world down to fraudulent diploma mills. There was even a Trump Univer sity, though that's been shut and does seem to be being sued for fraud.

That Jim thinks he can lump together all the products on offer as a single "college education" does suggest that he ought to sue MIT for not teaching him critical thinking.

What he did learn does seem to have been enough to keep him off welfare, bu t it clearly wasn't all that MIT could have taught him if he'd been interes ted in learning more than he needed to know to stay off welfare.

Whereas it Trump won, there'd be a serious risk of the US falling into a much bigger mess.

I never lived there, and their political system is downright odd, and would be difficult to replicate in a bigger country, not that anybody in their right mind would want to.

I can't watch O'Really because the thought of a falafel rubdown disturbs me.

Colour me surprised.

Well, you could always join 3rd world countries and elect a second-rate movie actor whose training is to be told what to do by the puppetmasters behind the cameras.

Trump, Bill and Hillary are all plutocrats. The difference is, Trump has made his billions honestly whereas the Clintons' ill-got gains have accrued through corruption and selling-out the very American people they purport to represent. I'd say that makes Trump the lesser of the evils.

Loads of stuff on the subject in these yearly manuals:

I prefer the older editions from the a few decades ago (pre-SMT) but YMMV.

You would, but you haven't noticed that Trump University has been shut down and is being investigated for fraud. It's possible that Trump actually has billions, but he's had enough schemes go bankrupt that a little skepticism is in order (not that you've got enough sense to manage skepticism).

You don't like the fact that Clintons have accumulated quite a bit of money , but when Ken Starr tried to find out if they had done anything illegal, h e came up empty.

If Trump thought that he could nail either of them for corruption or "selli ng out the American people" he'd be doing it. Instead he's spreading silly rumours that Hillary is less than healthy.

He's keeping his powder dry *for now* - and quite rightly too. Tactics, dear boy, tactics!

Works for me (though I didn't vote for him the first time around).

I'm sure that the Democrats are being equally tactical about Trump's shady business dealings - getting him extradited to face charges in some other country would be so much more effective just before the vote.

As for Trump having any "powder" to keep dry, or the level of impulse control required to stage a tactical surprise, I'm skeptical - not a state of mind that you have enough wit to sustain.

I'm afraid that Hillary's criminality, and her neurological disorders, are both products of right-wing wishful thinking - rather like Trump's wall along the US-Mexico border, but just a smidgen more deluded.
