    HG> GE Ed,   
   GM, It's a day later than I said I'd respond to this and Your next message.   
      
   I started a Full Scan with Windows Defender and didn't know it would take   
   longer than 5 or 6 Hours to complete.   
   It took over 15 hours since 6AM yesterday and I checked it just now and   
   it had finished.   WHEW!!!!   
      
    HG> As you can see, now the day and date correlate, BUT are incorrect.   
    HG> Your message is dated Nov 23rd, so what is shown is the system date.   
      
    HG> More work is needed, but the cause of error wasn't in the BIOS, but in   
    HG> the QWK program.   
      
   Here On Earth Computers Alway Win Because They Have Inside Information,   
   don't they?   
      
    EV> Where I wrote VOX in the Reply I sent You I realized VOX was the   
    EV> wrong Title for the Jack on the back of the 32S-1.   
      
    HG> I've never had any Collins gear but our club has a 75A2.   
      
   That heavy thing (RX) will keep the Operating Desk from floating away   
   if the Ham Shack got flooded.   
      
    EV> a Central Electronics 100V TX and a Central Electronics 600L RF   
    EV> Amplifier.   
      
    HG> Now I'm on familiar territory. My first SSB transmitter was a homebuilt   
    HG> 'Chinese Copy' of the CE 20 with european tubes. I received some help   
    HG> from CE to get the Phase-Shift-Network, band-switching unit and   
    HG> complete assembly manual and chassis layout drawing.   
      
   I remember they made a CE 10 and CE 20 back in the late 1950's.   
      
   I visited a Ham in San Francisco, California who had a CE 10 in His Shack.   
      
    HG> As VFO I used the one that was built into a BC-458 surplus transmitter.   
      
   Hope You didn't have to have the whole BC-458 on Your Desk just to use   
   the VFO in it with the CE 20.   
      
    HG> This was the first SSB transmitter on-the-air from Finland 1955 and   
    HG> 1997 from Aland Islands. Also built a CE Side-Band-Slicer w.   
    HG> Q-multiplier.   
      
   You were on SSB when I was a SWL using a Midwest Radio Corp. Multi-Band RX.   
   That was three years before I earned my Novice License.   
      
   I have a CE GC-1 Gated Compression Amplifier another Ham gave me in My   
   Shack.   
      
    HG> Before moving to OH0 in 1997, I completed a SSB transmitter that was   
    HG> contained on a BC-458 chassis and also used the two 1625 PA tubes.   
      
   Ah!, the 1625 was a 12V version of the old reliable 807 tube (iirc).   
   Long time........
