  1. Dear Bill N4CQR: Great video podcast and I am glad you now understand the NE602, but I am still trying to figure out the diode in the BITX 40 amplifier...

  3. I was curious after your mention of the mysterious internet purging of Chuck Adams, K7QO. I found the last crawl of his site at archive.org. Some of the main files were captured, including his morse course and lab notebook. https://web.archive.org/web/20170706135437/http:/www.k7qo.net/
