All countries export. Protectionism is on the rise; US industry being the first to yell "Dumping" when they lose market share or can't compete! End result is American consumer pays more than necessary every time a 'Protection' or US government subsidy is empowered as a result of the many lobby groups! Sometimes get impression US government is run by US industry not the voters? Cultural influences: Been a lot of complaints, in some countries about, for example the heavy import of US films and music. But there are signs that other countries of the world are starting to catch up and also producing more suitable/acceptable product, especially to the younger members of these other cultures. Some will argue that since movies, are outgoing, i.e. being 'exported from the USA' that's alright? That growth of US industry, whether it was Bethlehem Steel or Boeing Aircraft is exactly how the US grew prosperous in the late 1800 and 1900s. Immigrants, availability of labor, opportunity (i.e. freedom or lack of restrictions sometimes called American Enterprise etc.) Sikorsky Helicopters for example was founded and led by an émigré/refugee from Europe. Einstein was also an immigrant; so also Werner Von Braun of Nazi rocket fame was hired! If you had something to offer come right in past the Statue of Liberty. Not clear about these current rants; for example Lou Dobbs, on CNN with his "Exporting American Jobs". Many of the products the USA imports come from countries where it is more expensive to produce; have higher wages, and taxes to pay for more extensive health and social programmes, many of these countries have fewer natural resources than North America, have harsher climates, are a long distance away and yet compete well for the US consumers dollar and yet are not subsidized within their own countries competing world wide in an international market. But many produce superior/competitive goods! Working in the Middle East for example my relative had the practical choices of buying either a German or a Japanese vehicle. US vehicles are few and far between! In the same area US truck type vehicles are virtually unseen. Trucks made in Europe or India predominate. So if a US consumer wants to buy say a SONY Japanese TV (Very expensive country Japan) a BMW or Mercedes (Germany very costly country live and work btw) or a teak dining room set from the Philippines, a cheap tee-shirt from China, a good quality wool garment from Australia or canned Dole fruit from South America, who should say "No". The international market now includes India and China (each of which have tree times the US population many of them well educated and smart) and other 'emerging nations' and it will get increasingly competitive and demanding both in buying and selling. Another factor is US protectionism: For example the multi year ongoing complaint by US softwood producers that "Canadian lumber is too cheap" has been lost so many times on appeal through NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) that Canada is now starting to export to China and other countries. The US government having long imposed a hefty tariff on that lumber, at request of the US industry which is estimated to add a couple of thousand dollars to each new US built home! Next thing there'll be a US wood shortage; and prices will rise. Which is fine for the wood industry but expensive for the US consumer. And Bush wants to extend NAFTA to South America! The bottom line is that no country can 'protect' itself from outside influences (look at the current price of oil!) or say to it's citizens you cannot buy such and such an item that is otherwise freely available on world markets. In our case that is the purchase of Yaesu, Kenwood, Sony etc. Is it true that Wal Mart the world's biggest retailer (So they are 'supposed' to be doing something right!) alone, buys more from China than some world countries GDP (Gross Domestic Product)? So if you don't like their plastic 'doodads' don't buy them. Maybe buy wooden ones made in the USA?

If the tube socket loses its spring grip the filament does not make good contact and loses its solder. In The Henry, the tube often just popped out of the socket, With the LK500NTC I still don;t know what the problem is but suspect the filament transformer may not be balanced so one tube draws too much current or even the voltage my be say 4V to one tube and 6 violts to the other rather than 5V to both. The tube is solid in the socket! To fix YOU MUST use silver solder and a torch. No soldering iron or gun will do the job!

Well, sure. I didn't point the site out as a hint you should use the only two known deep-purple hand-blown 60KV insulators, I pointed it out becuase it seems to be the nexus for folks who Know A Lot About Insulators. I doubt those folks think every insulator ever made is worth huge bux any more than we think every garden-variey AA5 is worth as much as a Stratosphere. Sound like a cool project, BTW. I know someone else asked if it would be possible to get some pictures. I'd be interested in seeing it, too, when you get a chance. -- Tim Mullen ------------------------------------------------------------------ Am I in your basement?

Ya shoulda asked earlier, Jimmy. And puleeze kill the html posting while you're at it! Now here's the rest of the story. I notice you mentioned Lower sideband specifically. If the BFO is tuned properly you should be able to get both sidebands but since the S-38* is a "small" anchor its best sensitivity will be in the lower bands which are mostly lower sideband. If you find yourself unable to tune Upper sideband...say for example, stations above 10 MHz, the BFO may need tweaking. Since you've been in there messing around I guess you know where the adjustable BFO coil is. The quickie method is to find a quiet place on the dial...and adjust the BFO coil thru its rotation. You should hear a point where the 'rushing noise' (no not the Russian woodpecker noise) passes thru what would appear to be a center point. Set it on that magic spot. Done. Then you can fine-tune USB stations off to one side of Donald Duck and LSB stations will tune in off to the other side with the front panel Bandspread. Many guys encounter non-working BFOs in S-38* and although the Flintstone gimmick coupling scheme is always suspect, often the IF freq vs BFO freq have drifted so far away from each other that it appears that the BFO doesn't work. I'll have my girl send you an invoice Monday Morning for this advice. -Bill Article: 99629 of rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors From: "Reg Edwards" Subject: New Program. L-match Networks. Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 09:23:27 +0000 (UTC) Message-ID: Occasionally it may be useful to deduce the value of the terminating impedance of an L-match network when only the values of the coil (uH) and capacitor (pF) and the frequency are known. Program L_NETWK does exactly that. The terminating impedance is often the input impedance of the transmission line leading to an antenna when an impedance measuring device is not available. Whereas it is possible to estimate the values of the coil and capacitor settings from a visual examination. The L and C components having been set by using the SWR meter or TLI. The program also assists with assessing the range of terminating impedances which can be accomodated by a given L-tuner. Without such assistance a considerable strain is placed on an ordinary person's imagination. Download in a few seconds program L_NETWK from the website below and run immediately.

Can you name one victim of this particular scam? (Well, there's always one) And what does it have to do with Africa which was the original question? There's a website out there where some guy has dogged a few of the "Nigerians" and it makes for fun reading. I've dogged a few of them too. None of them have been in Africa. Sure, there are phishers out there. They catch more people logging into phony PayPal "re-register your account" than they do with the Prince Ngdbulasaski scams.
