You guys are so lucky! I've had 1.6 inches plus of rain in the last two days. Great for the ducks and geese.. but not so great for camping... unless you have webbed feet.

Re: Stange text in rtf (html) messages
W0IIT
Terry,
My email seems just fine. I am using Chrome browser and I assume the mail service that comes with it. I do use "gmail" on my laptop to keep that email sort of separate from the email I get on this machine. Both machines are Macs which might also make a difference. I do belong to a "bunch" of yahoo groups but since my recent operation find that I spend much less time at the computer so I couldn't make a reliable evaluation of home messages show up on any but this one. Hope you find your problem, it's small problems like this one that make these computers a pain in the neck. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Brutus. cu es 72, Bart W0IIT Pittsburg, KS 4Sqrp = #72, FP= #11, ARS=#568, SKCC=1139, NAQCC=#588 FIST=#5819, Zombie=#500, Geritol=#1000(from back when I actually had a mic connected to my rig:-)

Stange text in rtf (html) messages
WA0ITP
Has anyone else noticed strange text in the group messages from Yahoo?
If the message is in rtf format, I see a large first line and vy small subsequent lines. The additional lines are also wide spaced. It sure makes reading emails exasperating. This seems to have happened with the new Yahoo changes. Plain text looks fine. This occurs with all Yahoo groups, not just Four State. If no one else is seeing it, I'll keep looking for some setting speciific to my situation. TIA for any info. ---------------------------------- Real radios weigh less than a pound.

Re: kit builder for filter

Hi Paul, I'm on the builder web page. I just updated my "light" from yellow to green. Assuming you are referring to the Hy-Per-Mite filter? I've built one for myself, and another for a club member. If you don't already have a builder, feel free to contact me. Use the e-mail link on the 4sqrp.com kit builder page for K0EET. 73 - Paul Rose - K0EET

Re: slow email
Phil Anderson
I just figured it out! W0XI here.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The government agent receives the first email and turns to his instructional book: if 1 then proceed to page x, if 2 then proceed to page y, if 3 then come back in 30 minutes if you can't read, then pass it to your neighbor, if 5 and not 1 or 2 then proceed to step 23 in volume 111 hit 7 to dial the operator............ if none of the above works go to the FYI pages. Sound familiar when calling any governmental agency or large business? We're a sucker born on every call ! !@#$ Unc Phil, W0XI Roy Crosier wrote:

On shack maintenance
Wayne Dillon
Good morning all, Well this weekend I got to do some long overdue maintenance in the shack. The ASTU was acting up, tuning was a little hesitant and the positions had changed from what they normally are so I figured I'd better knuckle down and have a look see.
First off I checked all the patch leads, almost always suspect when things are not what they are supposed to be . They checked out but when I checked the link on the back of the ASTU (it's an MFJ 949) the one that puts the BalUn in play for balanced wire feeders I discovered my "hesitant" connection. Origionally I had placed a "temporary" link there pending a "proper" one made from crimp terminals. Well the "temporary" one was intermittent. I made up a permanent link and all is now fine, ASTU settings are where they should be and it tunes 160 again. Many of you know that I run a 176 ft doublet at around 40' fed with 300R ribbon. the way the link was performing i had effectively one side of the feeder and one half of the doublet acting as my antenna. Oh well, we live and learn. Secondly, I decided to check the output to make sure that I was in fact actually putting out 5 watts. I set up the power out using the meter in the ASTU (switched to Dummy Load) at 5 watts. Then, out with the QrpOmeter... hmmm. I was only putting a little less than a watt into the antenna! OK, set the output for 5 watts, just for grins I checked it against an OHR WM2 - same reading - and reconnected the MFJ. Boy oh boy was it off, I mean WAY OFF. So, this weeks net will be conducted with a "Full Gallon (QRP)", and an antenna properly connected. Just goes to show what shows up when you get complacent about stuff.
See y'all o Wednesday evening, 72/3 es God Bless de Wayne - KC0PMH
P.S. Anyone know how to do the meter alignment on the MFJ??

In general electronic mail is an indeterminate process. I imagine though that Yahoo's list servers may have to handle more email than your local ISP plus I can only imagine the amount of spam they have to filter, etc. We also have to keep in mind that other than agreeing to Yahoo showing us advertising from time to time they are not charging for supporting the thousands of groups which they host. 73, Tim N9PUZ 4SQRP List Moderator
