   Hi Ed,   
      
   EV> Their CW Bulletins etc. might just be developed from the Text   
   EV> entered on a computer and they use a program to change that text to   
   EV> CW, RTTY and maybe even their Vocal Bulletin Broadcasts.   
      
   I can't recall having seen "good luck" in their printed bulletins and I   
   have never read their CW bulletins so I don't know if they do use any   
   shorthand abbrevations in them.   
      
    HG> Please note what I stated above, "the mobile PS is named HP-14"   
      
   EV> Sorry again, I was thinking about the AC Power Supply (see above)   
   EV> not the DC Power Supply when I made my comment.   
      
   EV> I wasn't thinking (or remembering) You used it Mobile, I was   
   EV> thinking it was used at the Home QTH.   
      
   Yes I used it only at home.   
      
   EV> I don't know when Heathkit started selling the HA-14 and HP-14, but   
      
   I also mentioned previously that the assembly manual is printed 1965.   
      
   EV> He said that after he turned off his Mobile Radio Gear he tried to   
   EV> Start the Truck but the Battery wouldn't crank the Starter, ...   
      
   EV> Probably he was using a Heathkit HA-14 with a HP-14.   
      
   Well, if that happened before 1965 he may have used some other KW   
   amplifier and DC power supply.   
      
   EV> I'm not going to go looking through that stack of Heathkit Catalogs   
   EV> for one printed as far back as 1962, I wasn't out of the Service   
   EV> until December 1962 and I don't know if I have a 1963 catalog or not
