    That usually works! At one Sainsbury's the clerk spotted the amount of fuel on the bill and reprimanded me for it (3no 20 litre jerry cans), claiming that if the petroleum officer were to spot this then the outlet would loose its licence; which apparently limited the amount to 2no cans.

    Subject: AW: Antenna connectors for kx125
    Hello Europa Friends, Many thanks for all the input to this matter. Meanwhile I have found out that I already have the Connectors within the installation kit. They are a part of the large connector plate which will be fixed to the panel housing. There are two swivel connectors with side entries. The antenna wire will be soldered on there. This is a fixed part of the plane. On the other side the KX 125 is just sliding in ' please see picture Safe and happy flying, Bruno -----Urspr=FCngliche Nachricht----- Von: Fergus Kyle [mailto:VE3LVO@rac.ca] Gesendet: Sonntag, 10. August 2008 03:16 An: uvtreith@t-online.de Betreff: Antenna connectors Bruno, Antenna connectors come in many different series - UHF, N, BNC, etc. If you could find the series connectors applicable (by number or intitials) and send to me I will mail you the proper ones within a week*. The prices you quote are for 80-year-old grandmothers who never studied arithmetic. Ferg VE3LVO@rac.ca * or tell you where to buy them. Any older amateur radio licensee would help you attach them.

    Hi Jim, You are right, it is a dry county, but that's a minor inconvenience, compared to the gas purchase absurdities facing those in the U.K. Mammoth Cave is on our list as well as Great Smoky Mountains and Cape Hatteras / Kitty Hawk.

    Can someone tell me what a "petroleum officer" is and who he owes his living to? And who thought it was a good idea to have such a person. Are there sergeants, captains, and generals in the petroleum corps?
