I get from your posts here that you do not consider Chuck Harder a
raving lunatic.


Certainly not. By the standards set by shortwave radio broadcasters, Chuck
Harder is a sensible moderate.

Perhaps some members of some governments are raving lunatics. Let me
tell you a story Chuck Harder told years ago.

He had a large warehouse, in Florida, I believe.

It met all codes to the extent that it was "grandfathered in" when the
laws came into effect. Therefore, he didn't NEED to install any extra
doors in his warehouse; but decided it would be a good thing to do. Just
in case there was ever a fire the employees would have two more ways out
of the place.

So, he installed two extra, NOT REQUIRED, doors in his large warehouse.
.. . . BUT he forgot (or just failed) to install a lighted "exit" sign
over those doors. OSHA came by and fined him FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
($14,000.00) for not having exit lights over those two doors which were
not required in the first place!

I still own one of his "PRN 1000" radios built by Drake. It is still
used fairly regularly.
