[AMRadio] B&W Co-Founder passes

[w5omr]

: Very sorry to hear the news, but thank you for the note and the history.
: Didn't know that Jack Williamson played such an important part in the
: history of radio, but doubt there is a ham alive who has built anything and
: didn't use a B&W part.  Oh, maybe some of the newest QRP'ers, but not many.

The most famous part, that I think B&W made, was that big "bread slicer" split
stator tuning capacitor.

I've got one, in my 250TH rig...  it just doesn't have enough capacitance for
75m
without adding more.

73 = Best Regards,
-=Jeff/W5OMR=-
