I cut and pasted the fefinition below from Wikipedia. It does a very good job of stating what I often read here. I often wonder about folks who want to get matching serial numbers for their K Line. Now we have the hummers.
Next week I celebrate my 59th year on the air. We had no idea then what the gear of today could possibly be. We threw switches to spot and then to transmit and then to receive. I wonder what the hummers of today would have done 59 years ago ? ? ? I enjoyed reading about the guy who puts his hand on top of his P3 and the base line goes back down. Now that one I can appreciate as having some merit. BRW I turn my fan on the KPA 500 to 2 and leave it there all the time. Do any of these folks get bothered by flashing LEDs ? ? ? If they do I have missed that one. In the old days we did not have flashing lights. Sometimes we did not have meters eithers. Just used a neon bulb on a stick to tune the rig. Crude but it worked. It would flash though when you keyed the rig. Ummmmmm The term *anal retentive* (also *anally retentive*), commonly abbreviated to *anal*,[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_retentive#cite_note-0> is used conversationally <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation> to describe a person who pays such attention to detail that the obsession becomes an annoyance to others, and can be carried out to the detriment of the anal-retentive person. The term derives from Freudian<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud> psychoanalysis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoanalysis>. People who are said to be anal retentive usually suffer from obsessive–compulsive personality disorder<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive%E2%80%93compulsive_personality_disorder> [*citation needed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*] . ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
