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

[David Knepper]

Isn't it like hams to forget that Mr. Dahl supplied us with transformers for 
our rigs for many years.  How quickly we forget this man's service to 
hamradio!

Typical of folks to forget a man's contributions..
