Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! I will be a subscriber of
this forum from now on, so nice meeting everybody!

On this note, please allow me to stray a bit off this forum's topic
but my info might still be relevant for some. I myself have been a ham
for 8 years; also run a small QSL card printing business (my printishop
is located in Toronto, Canada) and have a web site specifically
dedicated to that www.qslcanada.com

Reason I would like to post this message on this forum is to let your
group know that I have a pretty good group referral discount program.

The idea is quite simple and there is no catch.... For each HAM who
is referred by you and who wishes to place an minimum order of 500
cards, you would receive 100 (custom designed) cards of the same type
free of charge. The offer is transferable, so if for example you let
me know that you don't need any more cards, I will be happy to print
additional 100 cards for your friend free of charge (or charge for 100
cards less)

This offer may be ideal for your group or a club you belong to. For
example, if you
refer say 3 HAMs who would like to print a minimum 500 cards for
themselves, you would receive 300 cards as appreciation for spreading
the word about qslcanada
; you could transfer it to someone as a gift ; or each of 3 Hams would
only pay
for 400 cards, since each one will get 100 cards free. To sum it up,
each of the referral counts as 100 free cards in any shape or form.
Pse let me know if you have any questions.


So if bunch of Hams in this group who are into QSLing might be
interested to giving someone a free gift or getting a good deal on the
next batch, pse let me know. The offer is valid any time in future.
www.qslcanada.com has quite a bit of samples, more info and e-ham
reviews


PS Have got to mention this, since it did happen before, where some
folks took this posting too personally. I just wanted to get this info
out there ONE TIME ONLY! Please don't call me any spammer names or hate
mail me. I believe this to be a fair group offer any hams by hams
enterprise deserves a little exposure to start out with.

I will try to participate in this group from now on; best 73 to
everyone and Happy New Year!

Please folks, do not reply to these posts which have nothing to do
with the purpose of this newsgroup.

If these clueless bozos never get any replies, they will eventually
learn to post to the correct newsgroup.

Thanks,

Another dang canned message...it's getting kind of boring reading the
same thing over and over and over...try a new message please.

The Message Template is the enemy of actually saying something
important. It is far too easy to bring up the pre-typed message and
offer a generic response to everything that gets one's dander up.

Now to add something to make this post "legitimate"...

I'm building (from scratch) a remote frequency readout so other hams
will be able to determine which frequency I'm on while mobile, should
they actually like to talk. I plan to use only one 7447 for BCD to 7
segment conversion and each digit LED will be wired in parallel and
multiplexed. I went this way to save money, but it will have one
slightly annoying feature...no lead zero blanking. So...can anyone tell
me the proper way to hook up the blanking inputs and outputs on a 7447
(I would use one for each digit to get this lead zero blanking). The
data sheet I have isn't real clear about the BI/RBO and the RBI pin. I
suspect something like the RBO pin of a lesser significant bit would be
connected to the next higher digits RBI pin or something like that?

Just plonk him. I have. He's now in my killfile just behind the script
that kills googlegroups postings -- which is where most of the OT posts
he uselessly replies to (e.g., the OP here) come from.

But, now, as additional phules start making useless replies to _his_
useless replies....
