Well, Mellon must have been closed on Sunday. The USPS Express Mail folks
attempted to deliver mine at 11:00 AM without success. It was delivered at 11:
00 AM on 9/23.
This is CONTEST-related.... trust me <g>

OK guys, will trade you a few facts for one line which only some of you will
understand.
1. Shadow delivered at 0000:01 Saturday morning. Comments NOT requested!
Well, for those of you have put out all the facts, and to lay all the rumors to
rest, so perhaps we can get back to business, here's what happened.
Mellon set up 3 tables in the lobby shortly before OOOO EDT on Friday night,
manned by 2 gentlemen and 1 lady from the Shift Supervisor's office. All had
date stamps in red ink. Behind them were business sized letter holders (
plastic, sorta like you see people carrying mass mailings) There were
approximately 10 of us present. By unanimous vote, a XYL applying for a KH6
call was allowed to go first. Second was a WB8 delivering his. Next was
Shadows. ( you wouldn't believe how many Mellon Bank buildings there are. I
think I counted 6.
At exactly midnight, they began furiously stamping the envelopes and placing
them in letter trays. As the trays filled, someone took them upstairs to the
main office. The manager of the Lockbox Office assured me earlier in the day
that they intended processing them IN THE ORDER RECEIVED! In other words,
there is no dumping them all into one hugh box and no lottery.. By 0020, the
lobby was like a tomb.... I had taken along a book to read, forgot it and took
a cab back getting there again about 0030. The place was deserted....
West Virginia is one of the most beautiful States I have ever seen. Drivers in
West Virginia are the most courteous I have ever seen. Pittsburgh has some of
the rudest people I have ever seen. I won't bother to comment on the drivers,
except to say I parked and took cabs.
I hope this information is helpful. I will not reply to any msg concerning
this one. I need a break.
73,
ED & Shadow

The split cores to order from Amidon are:
2x-43-251 for 1/4 inch cables and
2x-43-141 for 1/2 inch cables.
You can also use non split cores as they are cheaper:
FB-43-5621 for 1/4 inch cables and
FB-43-1020 for 1/2 inch cables.
There are also toroidal cores made of 43 material, preferred for HF, which can
be used for winding several turns of control cables on. The inserted impedance
goes up by the square of the number of turns, so you can see the advantage.
BTW, Amadon is a distributer. The cores are manufactured by Fair-Rite Products
Corp and are available through industrial suppliers. They also supply kits of
various types of their EMI suppression products.
Happy hunting,
George
