Re: [IRCA] IRCA Digest, Vol 154, Issue 50
Agree with Chuck, Mr. Buddy is your friend, but do keep a window, vent or
door cracked.
My experience here in the wilds of BC has been very satisfactory, they are
almost the de facto standard here!
Those who have previously frozen a YL, will also appreciate the reduction in
static.

I'd like to know how many of you use one on the REALLY cold winter nights
while DXing, and if you mostly go with an electric heater or a kerosene
heater. I'm going to be a guest at my parents' farm east of Council
Bluffs, Iowa all this week and have come up with the idea of bringing along
a Stanley 1500-watt utility heater to keep my surroundings warm should I
decide to stay up into the wee hours. I've run into a bit of a quandary,
though...it requires plugging into an outlet. My obvious choice would be to
go with a tractor shed on our place, but it's one that was constructed in
the mid-1980s. As is the case with most modern tractor sheds, it is of a
steel construction and has fluorescent lighting overhead, so there will be a
bit of a buzz issue, although not intolerable. To get away from the buzz
completely, my other way to go would be to DX from a wooden shed on our
place that was built during the 1920s in which we raised chickens when I was
a kid. Most sheds and o
utbuildings on farms that were built back then are going to be all-wood,
and would naturally be more appealing for DXing, but many that are THAT old
don't have outlets, and that's the situation with this one. In that case, I
would think a kerosene heater would be a better choice. Anyway, I welcome
all feedback on this. I'm just happy to get out of the city for a week and
get back to a place where I won't have to deal with images, spurs, and
mixing products on the AM band!

Any heater which operates using an electric thermostat will probably produce
noise whenever it cycles on and off. This applies to fish tank heaters and
furnaces - and everything in between.

Rick -
Many kerosene heaters are OK for internal use, but there are some that are
not OK indoors. And some are OK, but only if provided a certain amount of
fresh air. And of course in general there is a fire hazard, although some
have a fairly safe design.
I dodge those issues by using a catalytic propare heater like the "Buddy
Heater". Models run from $60 to $120 on Amazon.
Chuck

I've done it as the beach house in Narragansett wasn't heated very well.
However, with the wx here in the Midwest you may need A/C instead. 73 KAZ
