GM Ed,

EV> I saw TKS mentioned in a magazine once and thought it 'sounded' more
EV> like the word thanks sounds and I started using it instead of TNX
EV> even though TNX has a real nice rythym to it as it is being sent.

On the contrary, I feel that TNX sounds more like saying thanks.

 HG> The assembly manual is printed 1965.

EV> I found a 1967 HEATHKIT Catalog and saw the HA-14 "KW Kompact" and
EV> its DC and AC Power Supplies described in it.

Yeah, originally it was intended to be a mobile kilowatt but luckily
Heathkit decided to provide an AC powersupply too for 115/230V

 HG> No wonder because I made a mistake. The tubes used in the HA-24
 HG> are two 572B's in grounded grid configuration.

EV> I see that You wrote HA-24 again, it is the HA-14 You own isn't it?

Actually that is easily explained. The name of the PS is HP-24, why
not HP-14 ? Well, after sifting through the manual I found out that
the mobile PS was named HP-14.

EV> I thought a dash was the same name for a hyphen, and the character I
EV> used is called a UnderScore?

As Roy showed to you there's no space between two underscores so
consequently two underscores will be read as ONE dash.

 HG> No I'm not finnish. I am born as a "finland/swede" which means
 HG> that my native language is swedish.

 HG> At age 26 I moved to the Aland Islands which is a
 HG> self-governing part of Finland with our own parliament and

EV> Thank You! for sharing that info.

 HG> The name Ahvenanmaa is not an official name for this area
 HG> because the only official language is swedish an therefore that
 HG> name is not OK.

EV> I just thought to use that word after seeing it in the WordWeb
EV> program.

Yeah, the finns are poking their "translations" everywhere.
