[Hammarlund] HQ-150 Line Bypass Caps Needed

[Al Parker]

Hi Bob,
	Thanks for the enlightenment.  I've been out of the consumer product 
worries for a long time (never really was in it, couldn't understand why 
an MSDS sheet was required when selling a 10+k lb roll of aluminum sheet 
to someone who was going to make something with it).
	Your KWM-1 sounded good today, were you barefoot?  You didn't stick 
around, or propagation changed, I hollered at you 10-15 min. after you 
chatted with Lynn.
73,
Al, W8UT
