Building KX1 #742 and posting to this list

[Eberhart, Russell]

I have been trying to post to this list for about a month.  Each time,
my message has bounced.  Each time, the "error message" said that the
list doesn't allow messages with attachments.  Thing is, I never had an
attachment on any of the messages.

If this message makes it, it means that the problem was something
entirely different: I was sending messages in HTML format (as I usually
do) and they were being rejected because of the HTML format, not because
they had attachments.  I don't see any reference to requiring messages
to be in plain text format in the web material regarding this list.
(Maybe I missed it.)  If it isn't there, it should be.  If it's there,
perhaps it should be more prominent.

I just completed KX1 #742, with the 30M module, key paddles, and
automatic tuner.  I had a great experience.  It was my first kit
building experience in over 30 years (except for a ZM-2 tuner...not
exactly a major project).  My hat is off to the folks at Elecraft for
their great design, and for clear, concise instructions.  Everything
worked the first time.

I purchased a Hakko 936 soldering station, mainly because of this
project.  (Was the KX1 just an excuse?  I'll never tell my wife...)  It
was money well spent, and I recommend it.

There was a thread on this list a while ago about taking ham equipment
through airport security.  I have some experiences I may share on future
postings, if this posting makes it......

The list apparently will only accept messages plain text format to limit  
file sizes. Am sure this was made very clear when I first joined the Elecraft  
Reflector. The AOL 8.0 I used did not have the feature to send messages in plain
 text format only so ran into trouble myself. The answer to get around this
is to  ensure that you do not use any of the rich text features of your browser
which  is believed to be underlining, highlighting and the like when sending  
messages.
 
Follow this method and there appears to be no  problems experienced with the
reflector. Have since changed to AOL 9.0  which will allow messages to be made
in plain text format only when requested,  though have not specifically used
the feature only made sure to avoid rich text  features.
