   GE Ed,   
      
   EV> This Morning I got Your 12-17-17 message and started writing my   
   EV> Reply to it at around 11:40 A.M. .   
      
   Todays messages were automatically transferred to my system at 07:47 and   
   at 07:55 I downloaded the QWK packet. Then I had a morning meal and saw   
   the latest news/weather on the TV. At 08:50 I sat down at the computer   
   to read/reply todays mail.   
      
   EV> Boy! those ROUNDTUITS are troublesome, I ain't wired for STEREO and   
   EV> can only do one thing at a time.   .... ..   
      
   Yeah I know. I still have to do my bed and get dressed and shaved.   
      
    EV> read everything in them, so I mostly Lurk around a few echos as I   
    EV> have time.   
      
   I really don't have time to lurk in other echoes than the ones I get   
   when my system polls my host each morning.   
      
   EV> His BBS has messages from other Networks now, and since I am still   
   EV> trying to become a "mister know it all", I Joined many of the Echoes   
   EV> in those Networks.   
      
   That's your problem. You have joined too many echoes and without the   
   foundation you'll never become that "mr know it all" ;o(   
      
   EV> What Tube(s) were You going to have in the Final RF Amplifer to   
   EV> Modulate them with the Push Pull 807 Modulator when the project was   
   EV> finished? 6146('s), 813('s)?   
      
   The 4-65 I already had in the PA.   
      
   EV> It IS very hard even if I know how another Hams voice sounds to tune   
   EV> a SSB signal to actually sound like the person, for Me at least it   
   EV> is.   
      
   OK,   
      
   EV> (I know You Know what RIT is, but I explained it in case someone   
   EV> didn't).   
      
   Yes I knew it.   
      
   EV> Bruce showed me how He mounted a metal plate on the bottom of His   
   EV> TS-520.   
      
   EV> He had removed the Pin from a large Hinge and bolted one half of the   
   EV> Hinge to the plate.   
      
   When I started my radio/Tv service outfit I didn't have much time to   
   build my gear so I invested in a Drake TR-3 and a mobile bracket plus a   
   DC power suply so I could have the rig in the car (Mini) also.   
      
   EV> He used a Socket Wrench to install His TS-520 when He wanted to go   
   EV> Mobile with it.   
      
   I just twisted a couple of wing nuts to fasten the TCVR into the car.   
      
   EV> I used to Sign In to the Kentucky CW Traffic Net, long ago........,   
      
   I still love CW and listen right now to the 14 MHz CW portion while I'm   
   writing this.
