    This sounds like why PhD's and doctors handwriting is progressively worse and why the folks at Rite Aid are confused.

    Efforts to fix my three Radio Shack (Archer/Optimus) TV/FM line amps...

    I've got the channel with 12 signals up strong enough to watch without breaking up but oddly enough it the unplugged third amp's gain control works better than plugging it in, even without being part of anything else, just the wall to the amp to the DTV box. Take it out and that channel goes...

    Gasoline prices Skyrocketing!

    People are still zooming down the nearby interstate in both directions, or at least they were yesterday, I haven't looked...yeah, no difference in traffic, the campers and trailers are gone now. I'm hoping the power doesn't go off before my ramen is done, I had to bow to the porcelain throne...

    Efforts to fix my three Radio Shack (Archer/Optimus) TV/FM line amps...

    More progress! First, I think I finally isolated most of the problem with the bedroom drop. I have been using an AV switcher with a coax out for the old non-RCA equipped Trinitron. I removed the amp from the line and all else and ran straight to the DTV box. Bingo! Most of the channels...

    what are you listening to?

    Lawrence Welk. Don't laugh, it's one of the things I treasure that I got from my now-gone paternal grandparents. One of the others was HEE HAW.

    Gasoline prices Skyrocketing!

    It doesn't work going down like it does up. For many dealers their commission per gallon is rather small and this is part of why the traditonal service station is a dying breed. My dad made about SIX CENTS A GALLON on gasoline and had to rely heavily on his skills as a mechanic because he simply...

    Efforts to fix my three Radio Shack (Archer/Optimus) TV/FM line amps...

    NOW the problem is that I actually have to leave the amp in the bedroom UNPLUGGED or that's a noisy overloaded mess. Problem is that I get 5 stations. OTOH They have been showing classic NCAA Basketball Tournament highlights on CBS, Golf Channel reruns on NBC and boxing on FOX. Please God...

    Efforts to fix my three Radio Shack (Archer/Optimus) TV/FM line amps...

    Pretty much great news! I have most of the channels back in the bedroom now! The two main exceptions were not my making. The station with Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPBT30) that moved from RF15 30 after a limited repack a few months ago had been using the PSIP virtual channel number of 3.1 and...

    https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...061606929.html He was in hospice after health complications forced a premature end to his final tour in 2018. Rogers rose to fame in the folk music group New Christy Minstrels, which became the foundation of his band the First Edition and later as a solo...

    Gasoline prices Skyrocketing!

    Also remember that this isn't all good. With shelter in place orders and people self quarantining there are car dealers, especially independent (i,e, smaller, non-major company) deakers who have lost business almost completely and have had to lay off their staff indefinitely... While this may...

    Good GOD Andrew! First of all don't put them there, and secondly don't use MDF shelving for the gear. You are faced with something similar to why they once put concrete bases in washing machines to keep them from hopping about like Harvey, IIRC..at least the industrial laundromat units. Move...
