______________________________________________________________Hi DR -I wasn't "involved" with the museum, but had the good fortune to pay a visit to it during a brief stopover at the Orkney Islands. It's a dense but very inviting and interesting place, and as noted in the article, is an amazing testament to what a few people can accomplish. Their exhibits included many radios (and batteries. etc.) which I was totally unfamiliar with, including some of the "transitional" small portable tube AM/FM radios of the late 50's and very early 60's One exhibit which "resonated" with me was a piece of a capacitor retrieved from the ceiling, during a rig refurbishment which apparently was not fully optimized. Not noted in the article is that they offer to all visitors a sheet with the alphabet and morse code equivalents.73Hy W2HYFrom: "D.J.J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea@arrl.net>
