Some states do test, https://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/rpt/2013-R-0472.htm. NJ used to/also may have a disability property tax exemption. http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/lpt/lptdisv.shtml A list of States with exemptions by Disability Requirement: https://www.veteransunited.com/futurehomeowners/veteran-property-tax-exemptions-by-state/ Received my NJ-1040 booklet last week and line 12c on the return is for the Veteran Exemption. On page 17 of the NJ-1040 booklet, it states the exemption is for vets honorably discharged by the last day of the tax year, no other requirements seem to be needed for "this" exemption except for a copy of your DD-214 to prove eligibility the 1st time you file. The exemption is for $3000, $6000 if both spouses are vets! Makes NJ stand out (in a good way for once) from many other states. Now, if we can get our Homestead rebates up to date (it's still one year behind thanks to Gov Potty Mouth) things will be a little bit better in NJ. njarc-request at mailman.qth.net wrote: > Send NJARC mailing list submissions to > njarc at mailman.qth.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/njarc > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > njarc-request at mailman.qth.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > njarc-owner at mailman.qth.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of NJARC digest..." > > > Visit our web site - See http://www.njarc.org > _______________________________________________ > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

The closest thing I've found is H & R Distributors in Portland. It's about 1/3rd the size of Green Brook. For me, at least mail order is cheaper than the price of gas and NJ sales tax. I just hope they don't slick it up or downsize. I seemed to be able to find just what I needed at Green Brook.

I'm trying to verify it's the only one that's doing it before I call the power co. It's worse on HF. BC DX is a little different here in Maine. I'm picking up most of the French stations in Quebec, yet I can still hear some of the Spanish stations from your area on south. The wild thing was back in December, I was picking up 1210 WPHT out of Philly during the day. Not in the summer, though. I'll see if I can get to it and send you a DX report from a DX station. Regards to all and 73.

Per the schematic, you should measure 300 ohms between pins 2 and 3 of each 42 tube.

It shut down a couple of years ago much to my dismay. Well here is an update: I just bought some #10 fiber washers on ebay. The received package included the attached letter, from the proprietor, Frank Pellicano, WB1GTK, at ?DBA Atlantic Electro?, Westerly, RI. After reading the letter and a little online searching, the address for ?DBA Atlantic Electro? yielded the below Google Maps street photo.
