Hey, I resemble that hair remark!  Lyle has the year wrong but that's okay, I
understand that memory is the second thing that goes and both Shann and
Heather tell us we have forgotten what the first was!  I also don't know about 
spare time, because of the time scale I took 2 months leave without pay.  
Junior DeCastro, PY2BJO, paid my mortgage and health insurance!  I agree with 
Bob, W1XT, those were indeed heady times.

Oh well, nostalgia aside, back to Elecraft building, sorry for the interruption.
