Helpful Herman was lonely and so Copilot came up with Blondie

When I inputted to Copilot the specs for Blondie, I stipulated that her family roots should be eastern European (like the Ukraine), that she be around 25 and definitely shapely. Herman is Happy!

The suggestion for the Ukrainian roots goes back to my high school days. In Western Pennsylvania, there were lots of coal mines and steel mills. 

The source of labor for these industries prior to WWII was from Eastern Europe (Slavic and Polish) and following the war many refugees migrated to our locale under the sponsorship of relatives. In my senior class were a group of YL's who were born in Europe during the war and immigrated to our town. We had one from Italy, one from Belgium and a couple from the Ukraine. The Ukrainian YL's won out hands down! 

I worked on the Hybrid Wireless yesterday including installing the main TR relay, building the 12GE5 RF Plate Choke and a bit of circuit installation revisions for a better part fit.

The 12GE5 Plate Choke consists of 22 Turns of #20 Enameled wire on a FT-82-43 core. The inductance is 227 Micro-Henry and has an impedance of 10K at 7.2MHz.

Found some American Zettler type SSD 12VDC SPDT relays in the Junk Box and one of these is the TR relay on the Antenna Connection. This was installed on the inside of the back panel near the antenna connector.

Hmmm much discussion in the news and social media about blue pills you know who is ingesting. Gee, usually "little blue pills", I thought, were associated with something entirely different.

Them that know can make things go.
