[Boatanchors] Valiant a OK now!

[eldim at att.net]

Hello Joe,
And congrats on solving another problem in the saga of "BOATANCHOR RESTORATIONS">
Just think of all those poor folks that love electronics and are "COLOR BLIND"!

I remember when I entered the Air Force back in July 0f 61 and they gave your a COLOR VISION TEST.  I was blessed to have passed it, and sure felt sorry for those who had that vision problem.

Anyway,  ONWARD and UPWARD and blessings upon all that your signals reak.

73, and  A BLESSED and SAFE HAPPY NEW YEAR.
