   Found the problem!  When I set up the message area, in the JAM path I gave
the name of the file as HAM_SALE rather than HAM-SALE.  Makes all the
difference in the world, I fear.  If this goes to you, as I expect it will,
the problem is cleared, and you can send messages the way you did originally.
Terribly sorry about this.

user: You are replying to All about "WTB: QRP Novice CW RIG".

Write your reply.

assistant: All:
 I am  looking for something cheap and physically small,
 (really small), cw, low band transceiver, it can't up
 much room. It doesn't  need much power, just want to
 brush up  a little cw (haven't tried it for years).
 Simple analog dial  will be fine, except for good
 cw filters don't  need much. Novice band only will
 be ok. I haven't used anything in almost 10 years,
 so I really don't know what is available.
 The key thing is size, I really don't have the room
 to set up my old Kenwood Twins, heck can't even put
 up a good antenna - this will have to be a "stealth"
 type operation as far as the neigbors are concerned,
 so low power is probably better also. I know
 there are newer rigs that are much smaller, and
 do more than the old Kenwood Twins do, with
 built a built in tuner etc., if you have
 something like that I may be interested also.
 I can't afford to put a lot of money into this
 project, so price is important too.
 Anyhow, let me know if you have anything that meets
 my needs, either here or jljr@prolog.net . If you
 don't have anything but can recommend a good setup
 for my current situation, please let me know. I prefer
 not to get into 2 meter, even though I still have
 an old Kenwood TR2600a(?) with a dead battery stored
 somewhere.
 thanks,
