I had also thought of you, and your visit, when I was writing that last 
post. I almost mentioned you along with Geoff and Jim, but you and I had 
met each other long before we both were listmembers, or at least before 
we realized the other was a listmember, so it didn't quite fit.

Geoff didn't get a proper demonstration of the Meissner rcvr; it has 
developed a problem recently with poor sensitivity/low volume. Still 
usable, but not "strapping" like you heard it. It's next to get 
attention after I complete the project presently occupying the bench.

All radio miscreants, especially those who appreciate good ole' AM, are 
welcome!

Congrats on the new harmonic, Todd, and I'll look forward to seeing you 
at NEARfest, and maybe catching you on the air before then. I heard you 
fixed the KW-1; what was the problem?
