Testing the TK Tar Baby

[MileHigh]

Groundloop:

The bias current when the bias signal is high should be microamperes DC.  You should do more investigation and double-check the current measurement with a digital multimeter.

@All,

Attached is my radio frequency interference measurement when the circuit oscillates.
My pick up antenna is a 1 meter distance from the circuit. As you can see, this circuit
is a very good radio transmitter. I do not dare to run it for a long time due to the RFI.
The frequency scan is from 0 to 10MHz.

MH,

The meter I'm using has a 1 ampere range and is a moving Iron Ampere meter.
But it gives a fairly accurate indication. I will check with a digital multimeter.

Added: My digital multimeter did show 0,09 Ampere BIAS current when testing in the positive function generator simulator mode.
              This is in agreement with my moving iron ampere meter. I estimated 0,05 Ampere but did estimate wrong.

Dearest Rosemary,

I've been reading this TarBaby thread for what is now over 125 highly fascinating pages. Your travails with expert and highly credible correspondents has been, quite frankly, incredible.

I have never before seen on the internet such a prolonged yet decisive battle between uniquely equipped  combatants. There has also been a great deal of high level discussion on precise scientific and technical points, yet I digress from my primary message .

All can see that TarBaby exists simply as a type of tribute to your unique claims and persistence. A tribute indeed and what follows in its wake is an indelible record and testimony of your contribution to a completely new form of science ...

At every turn you have evaded direct and valid questions related to your technology. Skillful maneuvering in the field.

You have successfully avoided any practical testing of your device as required for discussion. Brilliant tactical delay.

When your technical knowledge and credibility has been called into question on focus of pristine point you have misdirected and asserted an opposing viewpoint,  without basis. Simply remarkable.

These are your primary virtues. Not to be overlooked, when faced with an overwhelming opponent to your views you have insulted and libeled in text book fashion. The nuclear option.  This approach usually silences the weak willed who have no true right to proffer a valid argument or dissenting opinion.

You have in fact blazed a trail here in opposition to the accepted values of the Open Source community. Yours is a new and innovative protocol ...

As other prizes and accolades are now out of reach, we have decided that an important step be taken. On behalf of the Committee, myself and the extended TarBaby family we would like to present you with:

The La Mancha Prize

Credo and Quotation -

"And so, to sum it all up, I perceive everything I say as absolutely true, and deficient in nothing whatever, and paint it all in my mind exactly as I want it to be." Miguel de Cervantes - The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha (Volume 1, Chapter 25, pg. 157)

Congratulations on your accomplishments which will never be forgotten.

In the service of science, ever sincerely,

ReFried

My dear ReFried,  It is not that OFTEN that my talents are lauded.  Certainly not on this forum.  Or in fact on any forum.  Or, in fact, anywhere at all ... come to think of it.      I feel that my 'light' has been 'hidden under a bushel'... so to speak.  But being a senior citizen - which I am - and being therefore both frail and mentally arthritic - I am only able to hobble along as best I can.  Therefore - while I'm delighted that you applaud these poor efforts of mine - I'm afraid that my innate 'modesty' is such that I would rather not have these efforts equated to those of TK's.  His genius is to AVER that he KNOWS EVERYTHING.  I - on the other hand - accept that I am a mere mortal.  He, like MileHigh, claims to know the 'real truth'.  I am obliged to confess that I am NOT that omnipotent.  He catapults science into dimensions that have NOTHING to do with the standard model.  I am hobbled by that model with ALL its attendant requirements.   TK can perform miracles of measurement without reference to TIME.  I cannot.  He can deduce measurements without making them and can draw conclusions without concluding them.  He can show one thing and ALLEGE another and IMPLY yet another and INFER YET another.  I simply CANNOT.  My science - unfortunately - depends on measured results.

So.  Any perceived similarity between us - is certainly NOT based on the fact.  Which really means that I must also, sadly, but in the interests of the 'real truth', decline that award of yours and recommend that you pass it to TK - as the 'really truly' quixotic genius of the two of us.

Kindest regards,
Rosie Pose.

Yes, I can easily pick Tar Baby up on my FM radio tuned to the low end of the frequency range. I think it might be interacting with the radio's IF stage. It sounds like a...well, a noise block or feedback squeal with modulation that depends on the FG setting.
