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

[Ed]

I got my call yesterday (said he had made 50 that day) and Gary was as rude 
as hell when I asked him when they might start building for amateurs again. 
They make many times more bucks out of Broadcasters than they do us, so they 
may stay out of the Amateur business with Mr. Dahl having very advanced 
Parkinson's disease. I placed an order with Heyboer today for my needs, and 
at a considerable savings to boot.
