Revision as of 05:41, 29 September 2010

This is a draft in User space, not yet ready to go to Citizendium's main space, and not meant to be cited. The {{subpages}} template is designed to be used within article clusters and their related pages.
It will not function on User pages.

Initial edits

I wrote a lede in CZ style; the lede contains the name of the article, and does not have a heading preceding it.

This will need copy editing. Acronyms should be defined when first used.

Legal aspects of interference with cell phones needs to be discussed. Howard C. Berkowitz 02:48, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

I'd email a note on this first, but your email function doesn't seem to be enabled. I see the only reference placed on the original article is an external link to his store. First, we avoid external links inline, and I'd be happy to help format a reference to a specific point at the site. Second, and a matter of more concern, we do have a no-self-promotion rule, and only referencing your own business falls under it.
Speaking as an Engineering Editor with knowledge of this particular subject, I am finding it difficult to understand some of the text. May I help try to clarify it? This is not a matter of understanding how TDMA works, but the prose. Howard C. Berkowitz 14:59, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

as the base post is placed at vaster length from the jammer than the cell phone and that's why the signal from the tower isn't as substantial.

Perhaps this could be phrased as an inverse square or inverse cube effect? Howard C. Berkowitz 16:55, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

The latter parts need both much clearer writing, and then more technical detail, if they are to be minimally acceptable. While the link to his own store has been removed as self-promotional, I am somewhat concerned that they only ship from Asian countries and the legalities of the cell phone jammer in the West have not been at all addressed.
