Dunno what that Defender is, 'cause I don't use it. If it's an antivirus
program, I use the free AVG program that does an automatic scan in the
background every day while I work at that machine. It isn't noticeable.
One of my Win10 machines makes backups with the Windows backup program,
the other one uses the Easeus ToDo backup program that Tom recommended.
The Windows BU-pgm takes about 6 hrs to make a clone, but an ordinary
full backup takes about 2 hrs.
HG> As you can see, now the day and date correlate, BUT are incorrect.
HG> More work is needed, but the cause of error wasn't in the BIOS, but
HG> in the QWK program.
Yes, sort-of. If the mailing QWK program doesn't put in that w-day the
receiving QWK program has nothing to go on, because Fido isn't putting
in that time.
HG> I've never had any Collins gear but our club has a 75A2.
EV> That heavy thing (RX) will keep the Operating Desk from floating

That receiver is in our club house atop a mountain so there's no risk of
it becoming flooded.
HG> Now I'm on familiar territory. My first SSB transmitter was a homebuilt
HG> 'Chinese Copy' of the CE 20 with european tubes.
EV> I remember they made a CE 10 and CE 20 back in the late 1950's.
Correct. My 20A copy came on the air in 1955.
HG> As VFO I used the one that was built into a BC-458 surplus transmitter.
EV> Hope You didn't have to have the whole BC-458 on Your Desk just to
EV> use the VFO in it with the CE 20.
It seems to me that you don't know those aircraft transmitters/receivers
They were very compact as were the receivers. The BC-453 as an example
was a receiver that covered (IRC) 200-550 kc and had an 85 kc IF.
That receiver became named the Q5-er and often was inserted as an
extension to a receivers 455 kc IF to improve the selectivity.
HG> This was the first SSB transmitter on-the-air from Finland 1955 and
HG> 1997 from Aland Islands.
EV> You were on SSB when I was a SWL using a Midwest Radio Corp.
EV> Multi-Band RX. That was three years before I earned my Novice
EV> License.
That's life.
EV> I have a CE GC-1 Gated Compression Amplifier another Ham gave me in
EV> My Shack.
Don't know that piece of gear. SSB didn't need any compression to outdo
AM transmissions.
EV> Ah!, the 1625 was a 12V version of the old reliable 807 tube (iirc).
Correct but with another socket.
HG> .. Windows Error #6BD3 : System Outclassed! Non-Windows OS

OS/2 does also have a GUI.
