For normal day - to - day message exchanges what Members choose as a Display Name is more or less irrelevant; quite a few members have no Display Name set up. However, the choice of Display Name becomes critical if a Member wishes to request a document (or documents) from the Group Archive. Incoming Document Requests are examined by a program that was originally designed for use when the Group was hosted by Yahoo, but this program had to be edited to handle the different way in which Groups.io presents downloaded membership information. The program cannot recognise "spaces" or "special characters", so any Display Name that includes one or the other will not be recognised; the immediate consequence of this is that the Document Request is rejected, with the original requester receiving a notice of that rejection. If you can be certain that you will never wish to request a document then you can ignore this message. If, however, there is any chance - however remote - that you might at some point wish to ask for a document then we would urge you to make sure that your Display Name conforms to the rule as soon as possible. i.e. before you forget. There is one "special character" that is permissible, and that is an underscore _. If your current Display Name includes a space then the simple solution is to replace that space with _. Those members who currently have no Display Name set are advised to add one as soon as possible for similar reasons; the Document Request system will spot the absence of one. For those uncertain of how to add or edit a Display Name then there is guidance on the topic in the Group wiki: 2: Your Account and Subscription (linked) which will help. Thinking of ignoring this message? Then remember Numbers, Chap 32 Verse 23: be sure your sin will find you out. Keith, Chris (S) & Chris (J) Owner & Moderators.

Members Removed for Marking Messages as spam 18 messages

Ever since the migration from Yahoo in early December 2017 there have been occasions when individuals have been unceremoniously removed from membership by Groups.io, with the notification that they had (apparently) marked a message as "spam". We finally started to get to grips with this last weekend, and if nothing else it has become apparent that it may well have been (or perhaps is more likely to have been) the member's ISP or ESP (Email Service Provider, which may not necessarily be their ISP) that marked a message as spam. As an interim measure a new page has been put into the wiki section of this Group in the hope of trying to provide a better explanation of what happens and how individual members can minimise the effects of this automated process. Please note that this new wiki page is a "work in progress" and is not yet finalised; we are hoping for change in the wording of the notifications sent to members and moderators which if nothing else should prevent people being completely caught out about what has happened to them if they find themselves in the position of being "dismembered". The work of writing and editing this wiki is being undertaken on a Group Managers' Forum*; it is a common problem that has affected many members and Groups. Please take the time to read this new wiki page just in case you are next in line! Any significant changes to the page will be announced in a further posting in this thread. * This Group is represented on the Forum Keith, Chris S & Chris J / Owner & Moderators.

WS 19 power measurements
I believe that Meir WF2U said that. I said that I measured the output power of John's Canadian Mk III, made by Northern Electric in 1943 and unmodified, through its variometer and a 40-pf series cap.
