I began selling low VHF-Q parasitic suppressor retrofit kits by popular
request after the October, 1988 QST article on anode parasites. I made
no profit on them because I paid my helper whatever it took to break
even. She worked hard, always showed up when she said she would, and
saved her money so she could attend Mount Saint Mary's college in LA and
become a registered nurse. She worked for me for nine years. She is
currently employed as a nurse. .My current helper is 13 and is
supposedly saving money for college. My guess is that she might be
capable of doing college level work since she currently has the approx.
reading ability of an 18 yr. old.

Spam is unsolicited advertising.

Do you mute the TV during advertisement sets?

the nickname for the Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiter-Partei,
National Socialist German Workers' Party. Trashtime started when Bill
Fisher was called one by Carl Heuther because Bill apparently warned Carl
that he would ASSuredly be booted if he continued to act essentially like
a sociopath / mo-fo. . Carl deservedly got booted. The N--- word was
henceforth verboten.
Mention the N--- word and, in well under 3mS, Majordomo will
auto-incinerate your entire AMPS post in the Lake of Fire, amen.
cheers, Fred

Such a deal! Most of the "hot" things advertisements I get ads for carry
some sort of monthly charge.
