Topics for the evening as follows:

- Happy broadcast memories – MCPS, splicing tape, a quarter-turn on vinyl and Bruton & Chappell library music discs

Great net last night. I had a listen in and loved the talk about the old records and tapes. Will try to join you next week.
Following-on from Giles’ monitor issue – I managed to replicate a similar problem with my 22″ Samsung S22B150 screen on 21MHz and 28MHz. No amount of ferrite (either on the DC cable or VGA lead) would fix it.
But, I was able to replicate the issue, locate the problem and solve it… Here’s how: http://www.m0pzt.com/?blog#MonitorRFI
