Thanks for all the responses guys, I now know that I'm psychicly linked with the Great God of Analog - ohmmmmmmm. Turns out that there's a fest in Grayslake this Sunday! (thanks to GARE II) I swear - I did not know this...now I'm all creeped out... Paul - funny on the RRs a Ham! Actually my only relation to Ham guys is that I used to have to go do lectures for them when I did radio/TV interference location for the utility - I still work there - but do not do that anymore. I have a particular viewpoint of Ham operators that would definitely prove I am not one. The only thing that I could ever see, that these guys did, was to do "end-of-the-world" scenarios on a yearly basis (like the guys down south who recreate the Civil War drama)and mock up emergency communication posts to assist the gov. when the bombs start dropping...Also - there was never one Ham-dude under the age of seventy, when I did my lectures to packed halls - and I always wondered how are these guys gonna save us?...with Geritol IVs and such, scattering to the fields to erect their Dipoles? OK - I'm just goofing - for any Hams out there - I'm sure there are possibly many and I don't want to truly offend... Well - after gazing at MSNBC today - guess I need to eat my words anyways and hope we'll never need to rely on them for what would be, an extremely important thing! Now - with my still up-in-the-air schedule, as far as going to AHMW on Sat. - now I've got to just tell the wife I'm leaving early Sat.,"see ya Sun. nite." This will not gonna go over well... Oh Gawd - the stress of it all.... Lastly - a post questioning the purpose of a 'sub-oscillator' well "these are just oscillators that fill-in when the main one is sick" And something about 'nylon hardware'...isn't that a garter-belt??? Ok I'll stop - have a great weekend everyone - don't watch too much TV Rog
