GM Ed,

 HG> .... ..  . -..
EV> TKS or is it TNX that's used on CW?

You disappoint me. We'll better stay with printed letters.
My line above clearly says "HI ED".

I have never used the short form TKS but instead TNX or TU.

EV> I'm not familiar with the HA-24 RF AMP, I'll hafta go look through
EV> my collection of Heath catalogs to refresh my memory.
EV> Later: I looked through several Heathkit catalog issues but never
EV> seen mention of either the HA-24 or the HP-24, guess I will have to
EV> go to a Search Site to find out.

The assembly manual is printed 1965.

EV> When I read about your 872B problem I was 'thinking' the tube was a
EV> Triode or Tetrode and couldn't find any info on it while rambling
EV> thru the Transmitting Tubes pages in the back of my 1976 A.R.R.L.
EV> Radio Amateur's Handbook.

No wonder because I made a mistake. The tubes used in the HA-24 are two
572B's in grounded grid configuration.

EV> There IS A Difference!  but you know how it is with the old saying
EV> that it's hard to learn an old dog a new trick.

Well,previously you did use the hyphen for a dash so apparently there
has been a change of mind to antique times.

EV> Speaking of "locationally challenged", Your mention of being in
EV> Finland when You went into the Army, made me wonder if You are
EV> Finnish and moved to Ahvenanmaa?
EV> (I found that word just now with the WordWeb Dictionary)   hi  73

No I'm not finnish. I am born as a "finland/swede" which means that my
native language is swedish. While living in Finland you will be called
in for obligatory military duty at age 18+. That will last 8 - 12 months

At age 26 I moved to the Aland Islands which is a self-governing part of
Finland with our own parliament and laws. The Aland Islands is a demili-
tarized zone and hence there is no military duty either.

The name Ahvenanmaa is not an official name for this area because the
only official language is swedish an therefore that name is not OK.
