   Re: HA-24/HA-14?

   In a message dated 06-30-14, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   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.

   aka Holger
