Spinningspark is an electronics engineer working in the communications field. His interests include;

Spinningspark also occasionally contributes to aeronautical articles. He holds a Private Pilots Licence (PPL) but is probably in the top 100 most incompetent pilots in the UK, if not the world. US readers will be delighted to learn that he no longer does any flying in that country.

I will not tread your dusty path and flat,
denoting this and that by this and that,
your world immutable wherein no part,
the little maker has with maker's art.
I bow not yet before the Iron Crown,
nor cast my own small golden sceptre down.

People who put in all the commas betray themselves as moral weaklings with empty lives and out-of-date reference books.

We aren't trying to produce something as difficult as poetry, but on the other hand we aren't as polite as monkeys, so it evens out.

You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.

I agree with virtually everything he says, but find myself wanting to smack him for his intolerance.

I prefer gas lighting

Otto Julius Zobel (October 20, 1887 – January 1970) was a design engineer who worked for the American Telephone & Telegraph Company (AT&T) in the early part of the 20th century. Zobel's work on filter design was revolutionary and led, in conjunction with the work of John R. Carson, to significant commercial advances for AT&T in the field of frequency division multiplex (FDM) telephone transmissions.

Zobel invented the m-derived filter and the constant-resistance filter, which remains in use today. With Carson he helped to establish the nature of noise in electric circuits, concluding that—contrary to mainstream belief—it is not even theoretically possible to filter out noise entirely and that noise will always be a limiting factor in what it is possible to transmit. Thus, they anticipated the later work of Claude Shannon, who showed how the theoretical information rate of a channel is related to the noise of the channel.
