      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.                     73 de Sam, OH0NC              aka Holger              ___        * MR/2 2.30 * How come wrong numbers are never busy?              --- PCBoard (R) v15.22 (OS/2) 2        * Origin: Coming to you from the Sunny Aland Islands.
