Who's got their knickers in a bunch?
I didn't make fun of his video to make myself feel superior, i made fun of it because it was funny.
If his intention was to teach someone how to wrap wires around a donut, then he did that.
If his intention was to teach people what wrapping wires in ferrite actually does, or why you would or would not choose that method to solve your rfi problems, then he did not do any of that.
This guy is not running dirty CB amplifiers and clipped modulation limiters, he is running amateur radio gear, and he is getting into everything in his house, and even his neighbor's house.
nowhere in the video does he describe his station, his grounding setup, or his antenna, nor does he show us why he didn't start there to solve his problem.
he could just be doing something dumb like operating from his 2nd floor and running 30 feet of wire down to a ground rod, or not tying his station ground in with his home electrical ground.
If he was doing either of those things and thought that he had solved his rfi problems just because he's not bleeding on the telephone anymore, then he is the one who needs a lesson.
Now here you are assuming that we are just a bunch of jerks who make fun of people that are trying to fix their problems, and that we don't know what we are talking about.
you should do yourself a favor and start searching around the past posts in this forum.
we have covered grounding for lightning, rf grounding, vehicle bonding, NEC conformation, and just about anything else that involves copper, and we have run those subjects right into the ground. pun intended.
If you would like some specific help with an issue you are having at your station, there are many of us who love to help, just start a thread and ask.
