The ATD / RAX station is coming along nicely.
Even have the Bendix-marked key for it.

Mike Hanz contributed his awesome metal working
talents and built mounting rails for the
receivers. They fit perfectly. Many thanks for
your many kindnesses over the years, Mike. Many
projects could not have flown without your input.

Biggest hang-up at the moment is deciding how to
provide B+ to the receivers, since I only have one
dynamotor. DC/DC converters will work but they
must be built into RF-tight enclosures to
attenuate the RF noise they generate. Still
deciding on this issue. Tacked an auxillary relay
across the ATD's keying relay and brought-out
contacts for both muting and amplifier keying.
Merry Christmas, y'all.
