Folks,

There are reasons to stay with plain text:

1) It works EVERYWHERE!

2) In some countries-and in the USA, if you have a satellite data link-you pay per byte and HTML consumes a lot of un-needed bytes.

3) Some kinds of malware are contained in .gifs and other HTML elements, and this way we don't infect anyone.

I personally wish I could have stuff look to the recipient the way I want when I send email, but I have long since given up on that idea. The person receiving the message may not have the font I like on his machine, and unless you send a .pdf file, you don't have real control over formatting anyway.

Plain text is adequate for the purposes of this list, and it's universal.

That, folks, is my opinion and the reasons for it.

Peace,

Scott

 - Greetings -

Scott, you are so right.  Plain text is conservative of bandwidth.  Enriched
text takes more bw and HTML takes much more.  Folks who have to pay for the
messages received bit-by-bit and who know something of the sender may well
decide that a message from him is not worth the cost to them.  Morse would
be more bw conservative.

Bandwidth of HTML aside, if you want to play in my yard, you should be 
willing to play with my rules. Absent this, go somewheres else, or start 
your own reflector.

If I post something and you want to 'see it' you can always go off the 
reflector and ask me to email it as an attachment to you; this works 
remarkably well... and I don't have to wait for someone's photo of a 
BC312 (with schematic) to slow things down-this is the gist of allowing 
just text.

I've always considered it a privilege and not a right to have access to 
the BA reflector, and I try to play by the rules of the person who 
spends time and $$ to run the site. So. the bitcxxxs back off and let's 
keep it a fun place.

Can't quite agree, Art.  It's the other way around.  Computers effect the
choice of values because circuit functions are simulated,  Where a
particular performance parameter is specified the computer calculates values
that fall within the tolerance of any value because the E series values are
contiguous.  The old system is not compatible with modern design methods
because there are gaps and overlaps which makes component selection less
efficient.  A circuit designer doesn't want to repeatedly tweak designs to
try to get something to work properly with a limited number of values to
choose from.

And then making a certain quality level of components demands modern methods
of statistical process control where computers reign supreme.  Far more
complicated then just sorting values in a test jig.

Ah, but modern design/manufacturing philosophies require re-use of standard 
components in order to minimize the carrying costs of 9 bazillion different 
components, and in order to leverage lower costs in volume purchases of 
standard parts.

  For different reasons, everything old is new again....

I'll answer this from the standpoint of someone who runs mail lists.

The only universal truth in e-mail is plain text, ISO8859-1.  Anything
else is a system administrator's headache that can't be won for
trying.

Problem no. 1: what one GUI mail user agent (MUA) considers "HTML" another
MUA considers garbage.  When you've got a thousand or more recipients,
the only way to send readable mail to most of them is plain text.  

Problem no. 2: An HTML version of a text message increases the byte
count by a factor of at least two times, and often, four times.
That's a whopping increase in mail traffic for both the sending and
receiving sites for absolutely no change in information content.

Problem no. 3: A lot of the large ISP's treat all mail list mail as
spam, and several simply silently discard it, rather than bouncing it
or letting the recipient know.  HTML-only mail is a "spam" red flag in
addition.  

I've swapped notes with Jack about the configuration used on this
list, and if we agree on anything, it's that any change is for the
worse.  There are alternatives to simply trapping other formats than
plain text and attempting to convert them to plain text.  Altogether
too often, the result is unreadable.

The above doesn't address the problems created by attachments, which
are also humungous for a mail list setup.  The average post length (in
ascii plain text) is around 2-3K bytes, yet people think nothing of
sending 5-10 megabyte attachements to mails.  Multiply that by the
size of a mail distribution list, and you're talking gigabytes, not
megabytes.

Anchorites,

About 2 weeks ago, I inquired about information on a CRM oscilloscope, 
National's cute little scope vintage 1937-38.

Pictures of my just-repaired National CRM  are in my "latest on the bench". 
The info includes the schematic from a James Millen book.

Quite right.  That is why standardized values need to be logically useful.
But that didn't stop component manufactures from coming up with new parts!
Hence, more computing needed!

I had one of those.  It's a synthesizer (1970's I think) 
that let you select the operating freqs for your xtal 
controlled 2 meter rig. They also had a version for 450 mhz. 
It could even do repeater offsets as I recall. Pretty slick 
back in the day.

In the 70's W2GLB built these synthesizers to
use with the then crystal-controlled 2 meter
FM transceivers.  Allowed channel changing
without buying more xtals.

I used one in the early 70's on a GE Progress Line VHF rig.  Some judicious 
stagger tuning on the receiver front end (and a transistor preamp) and 
compromise tuning on the transmitter produced a pretty slick "all channel" 
Prog line.  The GLB could be set up for use with the GE Mastr and the 
Motorola Motran/Micor as well.

If  I recall correctly that is an outboard synthesizer for a 2 meter rig to use in place of crystals. I may still have one buried somewhere myself.

With all of the expertise among you BA folks, perhaps there is someone =
who can give me some good advice.

I am going to try to make a 40 meter AM phone contact with  =
JS6ROO/JR3TVH in Osaka, Japan.  Neither of us have optimum rigs and =
antennas, so we need to select the best time of day - or night - for a =
sked.  My question is, what would be the best time for us to try to make =
a contact? =20

As an aside, is there anyone near the west coast of the USA with a =
California Kilowatt and a 40 meter beam who might like to join us on the =
schedule?

Thanks,

Jim Hanlon, W8KGI

Well, rembering from my experience, the best time I used to hear JA stations
was after midnight to sunrise here on the left coast.  Your path would be
closer to a great circle path.  Listen for activity between JA stations
during those hours.

I've made a trade for three AN/FCC-3 rack-mount units (about 8" high each).
Can anyone from the Kalamazoo area haul them to the Dayton hamfest? - I'll
chip in $20 to help on gasoline.
thanks,

I'm replacing the parasitic surpressor resistor on a Ranger 1, the resistor 
that has a coil wound around it and leads from the final plate.  The manual 
states it's 300 ohms, on the resistor the colors are not readable.  There 
just happens to be a 220 ohm 2 watt ceramic composition resistor in the junk 
box.

How critical is the value of the resistor?  By doing a little reading 
different rigs have a wide variety of resistances from 47 ohms (DX-100) to 
820 ohms. (Valiant)

Mike, the 220 ohm 2 watt resistor you have on hand should do fine.  It is't 
critical.
