Re: [drakelist] 4 line blue filters
Hi Carey, Please don't feel bad, you asked a perfectly reasonable question and found the answer. There was really no way to enter a question like that into a search engine until you at least had a manufacturers name or model number. That you got and that is why we are all here, to help eachother. If you did not happen to know about the Drake site, you could not be expected to be able to find out anything, either. The last time I tried to find the Drake site on Google, the link did not work, so you can see there are problems. In any rate, welcome to the reflector and to the world of Drake collecting. My little tirade was about the folks who know what they want and in many cases have the above information. Then they get onto the reflectors looking for someone to look it up for them, or maybe even send them the tube, connector or other part from their junk box at no cost. Rarely do you see someone offer up front to pay for the item. Maybe they would offer to pay after someone offers them the item, but it is not that evident at the outset. I used to send out connectors, hardware and other stuff just to help out. Now with increased postage rates and limited time to find suitable packing, box it up and take it to the post office or shipping company, I can no longer do that gratis. Good guy or not, it is just not worth the hassle unless a fair price is paid and the postage covered. I do have an extensive library of manuals, catalogs and reference books and I am glad to look up things for folks. A goodly number of manuals are now available free or at reasonable cost for a quality reprint. Therefore, I will no longer take the time to go to Kinkos or other copy place to reproduce a manual for free. The only time I would even offer is if it happened to be a rare manual what I was sure was not available anywhere else. Also, there is the copyright law bit and I have been challenged about that several times by overzealous clerks at the copy stores. Although most of these materials are very old and the companies are in many cases defunct, nobody knows if someone out there still holds a copyright. For instance, in the case of Hallicrafters, the name is owned by an electronics company and Drake is still in business although neither is in the ham gear market at this point. 73, John, W4AWM ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Re: [drakelist] 4 line blue filters
Duane Calvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Good point, John. My request was just in passing, but out of curiosity I plugged in "drake 4-line blue filter" to Google and got numerous references to blue lamps, many links to WA9TGT's filters, WB4HFN's page linking to TGT's, but none that I could find which linked to the Lee Filters number. I didn't try searching the "drakelist" archive because I couldn't find the archive. Even the link from the Drakelist page didn't work. 73, Duane At 11:40 PM 11/6/2007, you wrote: Greetings all, There is no mystery about this.

Re: [drakelist] 4 line blue filters
John you are absolutely correct and it's not just here but on all the groups that I belong to. Just taking the time to search the web and the groups archives will provide a wealth of information. The other thing I see is someone will ask a question and it has been answered. Now it seems like everyone else wants to get some attention so the question now gets another 10 or 20 more answers to the same question. Sometimes a little more information MAY be needed, this I understand. I also know that sometimes you have submitted an answer along with a few others at the same time so there will be some repeated answers. But to drag a simple Q & A on for days is going a little overboard. It just ends up taking up a lot of computer space and fills up my mail box unnecessarily.

Re: [drakelist] 4 line blue filters
Doug Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- OK, well I have a spare set of the blue filters on their way to me. (Apparently, I got my order in before he ran out.) I can't remember the prices of the filters vs. the LEDs but I'll trade you a set of the filters for a set of the LEDs. Always kinda wanted to see how the LEDs look. Here's another idea. I have the original blue filters from my 4-line that I'll just send you if you like. The rig was packed in a box for 20 years so they didn't fade much.. If your address is good in QRZ I'll just drop 'em in the mail tomorrow. 73, -Doug, W7KF On Tue, 2007-11-06 at 19:09 -0600, Carey Lockhart wrote: > yea i have the leds but they are just a little too blue for me. thanks > though -- Submissions:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --
