Rex Harper on the 50th Anniversary of the Tuna Tin 2 -- DONATIONS NEEDED!

I was really pleased to see Rex Harper W1REX on a special edition of the RedSummitRF video podcast:

Rex provides a lot a great background info on the Tuna Tin 2.  We are approaching the 50th Anniversary of the publication in QST of the Doug DeMaw article that launched the TTT revolution.  Rex has the original TTT in his possession, and is organizing a 50th Anniversary tour. We can only hope that much Mojo will be dispensed. 

I built one in a real tuna can:  https://soldersmoke.blogspot.com/2014/05/fdim-midnight-mojo-ceremony-tuna-tin-2.html  I still have the board! 

And above you can see Rex allowing the Mojo of the original TTT to flow into my homebrew 17 meter BITX (2014).  Rex and Charlie talked about this ceremony in the video cast.  Very cool. 

Rex is making available a 50th Anniversay edition kit of the Tuna Tin 2.  Get yours here:

Thanks Rex, thanks Charlie!
