Klein, you said you were an OF. Any olde-fahrt ought to KNOW that silver-mica capacitors were color-dot-coded for about a quarter century. [look in the 1976 ARRL Handbook] Those flat cases were eventually displaced by dipped silver-mica. Paper tubular capacitors in molded plastic tubular casings were marked with color bands and were on the market for at least 15 years, maybe 20...until aced out by ceramic disc capacitors for general bypassing and coupling applications (by both tube and transistor architecture electronics). ANYONE with hands-on experience in electronics between 1950 and about 1970 would KNOW that. [okay, folks, looks like there's another imposter here...at least this one isn't trying to pass hisself off as some marine NCO...:-) Try reading what I wrote. "They didn't" ... "escape". Looks like the impostor (as far as understanding simple English) isn't me. |

Only the present, which is not history, can be altered. WOW! Did you come up with that with no outside help? (I'm not overwhelmed - I'm not even whelmed.) You are the one who suggested above that it is possible to alter the past, i.e. "alter history". Keep going, Cecil, they'll name a book of aphorisms after you eventually. |

It is not needed that I know CW in order to operate at all. Indeed even if we don't stick to band plans I don't need to be able read a CW signal to know it is there, and reconize the frequency is in use UNTIL the Code requirement is abolished for good - the is no need or proper reason if you prefer that wording http://kb9rqz.blogspot.com/ -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com OK, I'll buy that - but again, until the code {exam} is "ABOLISHED" - we are "required" to have it for H.F. I WILL agree, once many pass their code exams, they never see a key or listen to a code tape - again........... For what it is worth and THIS I've not kept up with - I have heard that there is a move afoot - by the FCC themselves - to abolish the code requirement. For some strange reason, September or October of this year comes to mind. I guess we'll have to wait and see. indeed that is why many of are here trashing it out one last time NoCode got real montenum and organzation here t grow in to movement in part in this very forum there newpaper articles mention the same timefram and the noocders are swatting the whinners that would like to try and derail that L. |
