[Boatanchors] OT: Ignorance :))

[Gary Schafer]

The W2EWL brings back memories. I never had one but borrowed parts of that
circuit and some from the "SSB package" and a couple of others to build a
phasing rig for my first SSB transmitter when I was in high school. 
I would like to have a "W2EWL special" to fool around with. Haven't run
across one in many years.

I later had a 10B, 20A etc. too.
