Carl - Speaking of pomposity, I can't see why you have to keep rudely picking on
people's RACE here, even after requests from
the moderator and from others to stop it. I also wonder why your messages are
from "Geoff" - maybe it' s my mail reader.
Incidentally, some of the fine British antique radio experts on this list (whom you
now turn to insulting) have been a great help
to me, and if it weren't for that small number of radio amateurs in the U.K. I would
never have learned about the joys of amateur radio
nor become licensed as G3XLQ back in the 1960s. My first receiver was an R1155
from a Lancaster Bomber , in which 2/3 of our boys lost
their lives helping to defend your arse's freedom. An improvised 230V AC power
supply had to built by hand on a biscuit tin for the thing.
What a joy it was to see that thing succeed and hear the crackling and heterodynes
as those strong (and I may add FRIENDLY) signals
rolled in from across the pond on the 14 MHz band. Down with racism. Rule
Brittania! 73 & Happy New Year.

p.s. My Grand-dad was an Aussie so you were adding insult to injury!
:) - still, we all can easily guess that you got the attention you crave.
