Eric Guth has a great interview with homebrew and boatanchor guru Mike WU2D.

Wow: "My receiver was from a Sherman tank."
His story about getting in trouble after "borrowing" his friend's callsign was really great.
I also liked his wise comment about how anyone who homebrews simple gear will collect some "wallpaper" from official observers and the FCC. Mike is right: we shouldn't get too concerned about minor transgressions. If we do, we run the risk of becoming so careful, cautious, and fearful that we never BUILD anything.
There is a wonderful discussion of the Paraset.
Mike coins a term that we might want to add to the SolderSmoke lexicon: RetroQRP. (Over to you Steve Silverman. Your call OM.)
Been watching his Solid State Regen videos all morning, I won't tell you why... Ed KC8SBV
ReplyDeleteAfter the ET-2, I am no longer in a position to criticize regenerators. Do whatever makes you happy Ed. 73 Bill
