BTW I have some bits of secret info to squeeze more and better power from some old receivers.

I cant sell that info - cos I am not making anything ... item 1 made by some factory in china when swapped out for similar item made 30 years ago makes 25% more power with an increase in reliability.

I control no part of that supply chain.

I can make $ by repairing these and charge a going rate+ extra power premium ... or by modifying them with the same type of deal.
None of which is easy $$$. Its a $100-120 for 6-7 hours of work ...

I release the info ... I dont even make that, every fool with a screwdriver and a soldering iron will eliminate my $100 ...

Since I dont have any delusions of grandeur ... I dont proclaim I am a national hero and run to hong kong.

That is in a word what Snowden has done. He's going to gain a wonderful life of freedom in a 3rd world slum where he dont speak the language and has to keep looking over his shoulder for someone with a eye on the price on his head wanting to remove the head and send it on via UPS to collect a reward.

You cant get extradited from Ecuador. You can get decapitated.

And he can presumably get govt protection from thugs ...
Of course if he does that, we could just call him a national hero, pardon him, and say how he helped the US ... promptly the venezuela govt will send his head to the POTUS in a box.`
