GM Ed,

 EV> even though TNX has a real nice rythym to it as it is being sent.

While contesting on VHF in the early 70's I started to send GL to my
competitors after a finished contest exchange. To day I hear many CW
qso's on the HF bands also wishing GL (GoodLuck) to each other but that
shorthand hasn't yet reached the ARRL's RAHB.

EV> On evening when the Net Control Operator (NCS) was someone who has
EV> been in Amateur Radio since the 1930's?, instead of normally sending
EV> ._. to acknowledge what he told me to do, I sent _ . _. ...._ to
EV> him, just as a joke.

I have ceased to translate your dashes and dots since I don't want to
guess what letter it is that you try to implement.

EV> Is the RF Amp still used?

I have previously stated that the tubes are finished, probably due to
overdriving the PA with a Drake TR-4c. Consequently it isn't used.

 HG> why not HP-14 ? Well, after sifting through the manual I found
 HG> out that the mobile PS was named HP-14.

EV> The Power Supply for their SB- series is named HP-23, so I suppose
EV> they just incremented the number One Digit for the AC Power Supply
EV> for their KW Kompact RF Amp.

Please note what I stated above, "the mobile PS is named HP-14"


CUL,

Holger
