Unless I am mistaken, that web site is lying about them being free 
fonts.
Even their links to other free fonts go to pay sites.

 CW dead? Hah! Check out the cool font at

You are mistaken. Click on WIN FONT and your font will
be instantly downloaded. Some fonts are only partial
in that they don't have lower case or punctuation or
numbers. But many if not most of them are complete.
And the ones that aren't generally cost a measly 5
bucks to get whatever is missing.

Ever tried to build a font? The time required is
significant. And it's tedious work. I don't know what
anyone would want to do it.

[AMRadio] Stuff for trade

2007-05-05 Thread EdwMullin
I have some broadcast tube radios that I need to get out of the house. If  
you're into that sort of thing I'd rather swap for some ham gear. (cash seems 
to 
 always get used for other stuff like bills and food, go figure)

An  RCA floor model, non-funtional, all the innards are there, but the 
exterior  caontrols are pretty bad, knobs are broken and switches are not 
working.  
Also the dial glass is gone. I rescued it from an old barn, but it's sitting 
in  my shed waiting restoration that I will probably never get to. Probably 
great  for parts to restore another rig, or if you have the knobs etc you could 
make it  play.

A GE AM/FM record player, floor model.  Works, but needs  help.  Plays 78 rpm 
records (just 78's), recieves stronger stations on am  and fm. Cabinet nees 
to be refinished on the exterior, and needs some basic  electrical work to be 
in good shape.

A GE portable radio (the  size of a brief case), complete and functional, 
but only hears the strongest  stations. 

Would consider any reasonable trade  offer.

Re: [AMRadio] high-priced accessories and audiophools

2007-05-05 Thread D. Chester

Well, thank God for small favors and no price increase!!! However, if one
looks carefully, they will see a green dot on each receptacle. This means
they are hospital grade and may be used where oxygen is in use. I don't
think this justifies a that kind of price but as P.T. Barnum said, No one
ever went broke under-estimating the intelligence of the American 
public...


But why does it matter whether or not they may be used where oxygen is in 
use.  I thought everything audiophools used was oxygen free.

 I usually use Hospital Grade 20 A outlets in recording studio 
installations and never ran into any gold plated but the isolated ground 
and overall heavier construction

is far better than the cheap 15 A ones found at most electric depts.
Sure glad I picked up a 5 gallon bucket of military shelter pulls years 
ago.

And I'd bet the government paid more for those back then than the 
audiophools do to-day.

Re: [AMRadio] USPS Changes May 14

Hi Bry,

FedEx may good for domestic shipments, i.e. U.S.A.-to-U.S.A., but for
INTERNATIONAL deliveries --- like the U.S.A. to Canada --- FORGET it!

Like all of the other commercials, they have the very ODIOUS habit of
charging us a MINIMUM $25.00 ...brokerage fee on everything they might
carry across the 49th parallel...

...And lest you think I'm merely whining, I've a VERY strong suspicion that
said policy is reciprocal on shipments from us, to you...

 USPS has been going to hell in a handbasket for some time now.

 They just get worse and worse.

 I tell them they should bui;d another post office nerar us so we
 won't have to CONSTANTLY wait in line for 30-35 minutes.
 They ignore me. I would pay 50 cents for a stamp, but really they
 are so messed up it is pathetic.

 Thank God for FEDEX!

  As you know I ship a lot, so it is interesting to me
  the changes that USPS is putting in May 14. Rate
  increases on everything of course--that's standard.
  But their parcel post service is actually changing
  quite a bit.
 
  Foreign surface mail shipping has been eliminated.
  It's all air mail as of May 14th. That should really
  cut down on the number of boatanchors crossing the
  pond.
 
  Global priority mail is now limited to 3 ounces. That
  kills the best way to ship small parts, mics and
  accessories overseas inexpensively.
 
  Parcel Post--ALL packages now have to be measured and
  are charged more as size goes up--not just weight.
  That should certainly drive a lot of shiping into
  UPS/FedEx camp.
 
  There's many other small changes. If you ship a lot,
  you probably ought to visit USPS.COM and check it out.

  Well, a couple years ago an E-Bay Item winner from Quebec failed to pay the 
25% Brokerage fee to FedEx. FedEx sent paperwork showing that THEY were billed 
the amount by non affiliated brokerage firm. The fine print in their shipping 
contract allowed them to legally bill me for the amount almost 4 months later 
when I no longer had legal recourse with the buyer.

 I don't think it's all FedEx's fault. There is a middle man
on the border charging a lot for simple paperwork processing or whatever they 
do.

 Probably does work both ways.

 It's about 800 lbs with the Iron I believe. Manual is in the shop.
  I moved mine myself in the back of a Dodge minivan after pulling the Iron off
