Abstract: We prove effective results on when a function can be approximated by a Dirichlet polynomial with bounded coefficients. Assuming that Phi(n) is an increasing function we prove that the set of polynomials {sum_{n=2}^N a_n n^{it-1}: N geq 2, |a_n| leq Phi(n)}, is dense in L^2(0,H) if and only if sum_{n=2}^infty frac{log Phi(n)} {n log^2 n} = infty. We also prove variants of this result for generalized Dirichlet polynomials. The main tools are theorems of Paley and Wiener related to quasianalyticity and the Pechersky rearrangement theorem. We use this result to give precise conditions on when a conjecture of Ramachandra is true and when it is false. We prove that whenever Phi(n) is a positive increasing function then lim_{N o infty} min_{|a_n| leq Phi(n)} int_0^H abs{1+sum_{n=2}^N a_n n^{it-1}}^2 dt =0, if and only if the above sum is divergent. This has applications on lower bounds for moments of the Riemann zeta-functions in short intervals close to Re(s)=1, and to questions of Universality for zeta-functions on and close to their abscissa of convergence.
