[HBQRP] Fwd: Dar Piatt's (W9HZC) Ham Can Makes the Cover

[Dale Botkin]

You know, when that issue came here one of my sons was wondering "what 
the heck all that stuff" was on the cover.  I saw the ham can and said, 
"Well, that looks like a transceiver...  in fact, that looks like one 
Dar built!"

Nice work, Dar.  :)
