I would guess it's a typo of an FT23-43, as the -43 is a
ferrite type, and they do have a size 23 in that material...

Subject: Dumpster diving
Speaking of dumpster diving, I found some heavy duty switching power supplies
when DEC was cleaning out one of the computer rooms here. A couple are in primo
condition, all I have to do is figure out how to hook them up. A couple more
were scrap... lots of 2N4401 and 2N4403 xsistors, some voltage regulators, some big caps, some MOVs, some diodes. Lots of potted toroids too... another ham
claims I can liberate them by cooking them in the oven for a while, I say more
trouble than it's worth....

Subject: QRP List now under Majordomo
Sender: qrp-admin@Think.COM
Precedence: bulk
Greetings, QRPers. I am in the process of drastically changing the way
this list is managed. With travel, work, and vacation schedules, it has
been difficult for me to respond to QRP-Requests in a timely manner. And,
I had been meaning to establish a digestified version of the qrp list for
some time. So, tonight, I configured this list to be maintained by
Majordomo, an automated mailing list maintenance program. People can now
subscribe, unsubscribe, and retrieve information files and archives by mail
without human intervention.
Also, coming your way very soon is a Digested version of the list. For
those of you who don't want to receive each QRP message individually, you
may wish to unsubscribe to the QRP list and subscribe to the QRP-Digest
list. Actually, you may do so now, but no guarantees that it works until
the first digest comes out! Digests will be created nightly for now, but
if there is popular demand or low volume (now that Chuck's off the list
:-), I'll move it to weekly digests. Opinions are welcome.
All administrative requests should now be sent to "Majordomo@Think.COM";
mail sent to the QRP-Request address will cause an automatic reply from
Majordomo telling you what you should do.
If you want to unsubscribe from this list, send a message to the majordomo
address above containing only the line:
unsubscribe qrp
If you want to get the QRP-Digest list (still considered highly
experimental!) instead of the QRP list, send a message containing these two
commands:
unsubscribe qrp
subscribe qrp-digest
More info on things you can do with/to majordomo can be had by sending the
command:
help
Eventually, I will move the files which are in the QRP anonymous FTP area
into an area where they can be automaticaly retrieved by majordomo; as yet,
you'll find nothing with "index qrp".
I hope this isn't too impersonal to you, but I think we're all better off
putting things like editing names on a list in the hands of a machine,
rather than wait a week for me to get around to processing the requests!
If you still have questions or comments that require a human, send to
QRP-Admin@Think.COM, and someone will (eventually) get back to you.
