I like this rig. Perhaps I like it too much. I find myself plotting to build it myself. I mean, I have tubes. I have a bunch of old parts (many sent to me by Pete himself).
Alas, I have to fight the temptation. I have to tell myself that this is for CW (a mode that I have come to be impatient with). And it is a thermatron rig that requires potentially lethal voltages.
Still, Pete's construction technique is really neat. It combines old style slat-board construction with modern copper clad boards. Frank Jones would approve.
I think we need someone to write another episode of the FMLA series, this one using Pete's build. And maybe featuring Pete himself.
Here is some needed background info on Frank Jones and the FMLA articles:

I look forward to hearing from protential authors. If the new articles are good, I will put them on the SolderSmoke blog.
