[Boatanchors] Peter Dahl transformers for Amateur Radio-MaybeLater....

[EP Swynar]

Hi Grant et al,

Yes, indeed, but the thing for all to remember --- especially Mr. Dahl &
Company! --- is that it was the AMATEURS who gave him his first support in
this business, and NOT the big commercial outfits...

How soon they forget.

He could learn a lesson, or two, in humility from the likes of the
late-great Mssrs. Fred Hammond, & Art Collins, two very FB gentlemen who
never (as far as I know, anyway) forgot who first buttered their financial
bread, so-to-speak, in the business world...namely, the likes of you &
me --- i.e. a few "...obnoxious, rude Amateurs"! Hi Hi
