Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't realize that's what had happened. I read "somewhere" that there's a way to be notified when a page has been modified. I don't think it's even necessary to be the author of the page. I'm thinking it was in a print magazine, but I don't know if it was Wired, Popular "Something", or what. Thanks for all the effort, 'tis much appreciated. 73, Randy KZ4RV craxd wrote:

am trying to hand make all that I can. I have completed a hand made, 12Kv plate variable capacitor. I know I could buy one but then I can't say I made it. I have a 1" dia phenolic rod for a form and/or 22mm glass tube that could be mounted on a dowel to make a choke with. I was hoping to do a single wind of 20ga magnet wire. If I can do this and all does not go up in smoke , I plan on then looking for a vac variable plate cap and a band switch and building one for 40 thru 15 , I don't go below 40 and work 15 the most. I have an extra socket , chimneys , fil transformer and such for the next amp. I built the P/S so it is in its own cabinet on wheels , 0 to about 5Kv @ 1 amp. The RF deck will sit on top.

When only 4-5 co's showed up... they were surprised... and proceeded to divvy up the province of alberta into North south east west. The co's are real happy now. NONE of em compete with each other... since they have their own turf. None of em are the slighest bit interested in spending Billions to generate new AC power. [the provincial gov't there thought with some co spending billions on new power... rates would...drop]. Instead... there was no increase in production at all.... rates went up as much as 450 % !! ### In the UK... they did the same thing with their various water supply's for residential water. Their water rates have gone up 400 % ! They also privatized the construction of new hospital facilities.... now the consumer is paying through the nose for it. ### cheap electric/water rates means a better economy. You start paying sky high rates... and the one of 2 things happen.... either increased production costs get passed onto the consumer... or co XXX sells up... and moves. In VE6 land... they had foundries that had been there a long time... and couldn't compete with the province of manitoba [VE4 land].... due to the huge difference in electrical rates. The foundries in VE6 land moved to VE4 land. ## If u wanna pay retail + 100%... go for it. Most of us like the wholesale rate. later... Jim VE7RF |

Re: Transformer page at Wiki finished

Randy,
No, but what editing has happened by 2 or 3 that has contributed has only been to correct any mis-spelled words and clean up any formatting. It's all there in good shape. The thing that happened the first time was the one who authored the Transformers page didn't want the extra info on actually designing them on that page, and he was the sole one who did the deleting. Another person from that page and myself created the one for Transformer design, and a few others jumped in to help so it's backed up and protected. Anyone can edit a page, and I hope it might be expanded upon in the areas of RF and audio/impedance transformers. I wrote everything that is there now about power transformer design, but left the areas above out for someone else to do if they want to add them.

Re: AL80-A
craxd
It's a shame that the states had to step in and raise the minimum
wage instead of the old congress. That shows where the one parties loyalties are at. During this time, the minority party tried to raise the minimum wage three times, and the majority party shot it down. Even at these current raises by the states, the folks making minimum wage are still under the poverty level in this country. Congress changed hands today, so I expect a federal minimum wage increase is around the corner pretty soon. Lets say that if one worked 8 hours a day, 5 days per week, at 4 weeks per month, times 12 months, what would their gross income be at $7.25 an hour? It comes up to a whopping $13,920! They shouldn't be any income tax as that's under the minimum to file I think, unless any states are stricter on state income tax. Rent is around $500 a month at the cheapest around here (unless you live in squalor or the projects), then you have the utility bills. If you have kids, then it's worse as one still has to eat. What do you then do if you get sick? I seen on a news show that Walmart does offer health insurance, but you have to pay for it out of your payroll check at about $120+ a month. At that, I think that's per person if I recall. The employees simply can't afford this, so they end up on Medicaid if they have children. Medicaid is paid for out of both federal and state tax dollars that we contribute. If Walmart was unionized, they would receive health benefits through the company with a guaranteed retirement benefit. They would also be able to raise grievances and be protected from immediate termination at any time some boss get's a burr up his/her ass. Right now, Walmart advises any vendor to move their production to China if they want to sell to them. This so they can double or triple on the products they sell to us and make the CEO a fortune. That golden parachute is all that counts to them. To top it all, at one time, Walmart bragged they bought all they could from US manufacturers. Walmart if NOT the only one doing this either. The company I used to work for, ACF Industries, practically shut down both union plants they have. They are in Huntington, WV, and Milton PA. Now, they only have them making piece parts with no new RR car production, and about 1/8 the work force. They built 2 new plants in Arkansas, one for tank cars and the other for the center flow hopper car they made here in Huntington. In the union plants, a welder made about $12 an hour plus bonus (equalling about $16 an hour), and all the union benefits. There, a welder gets about $8 an hour in a non- union shop.

Re: WM and etc.
Wal-mart beats many jobs available in my immediate locale by a
pretty good margin. The lowest paid jobs start at $6.15 or so. Sure, there are better jobs, but when you compare the expense of driving 40 to 75 miles one way to work, a local WM job looks OK with over an hour of time and $2.50/gal gasoline saved each way. And they have a good ESOP program if one has the sense to take advantage of it, as mentioned elsewhere. Sure, many people that work there would rather make $25/hour standing around a factory watching some machine work, but most of the factory jobs here are gone for that reason. It is a lot cheaper to move the machine away to Honduras, Mexico or where ever and pay someone $2.50/hr to watch it run. Production workers have priced themselves out of the market here in the US. Raising the minimum wage will solve nothing in the long term. The real problem is that many younger Americans place an unrealistic value on the limited skill sets that they have. As one local paper said recently, if you are 35 years old and still working for minimum wage it is your own fault, not anyone else's.
