[Boatanchors] Questions about re-doing panels for DX-35/40

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

The process of "Silk Screening" might best be classified as an "Art Form". 
It is anything but easy to do. Once upon a time it was quite common, but 
nowadays finding anyone who still does it is not an easy task.

One expert I know who does it, that is, if he is still doing it, is N0ALO, 
Lynn Brock. There is nobody any better then he is! Contact Lynn and ask.

It is not cheap, but it is unique and beautiful.

> One person I contacted said that doing one panel would be expensive ~ $70
