[HBR] 1929 "QST SUPER 12" Retro-Receiver---Postscript

[Eddy Swynar]

Hi Jeff...

Congrats on that HBR-16 you built! No easy task, to be sure...

Well, I also own a "computer aided transceiver" Yaesu FT-980, AS WELL AS an
Icom 751A---both very FB high-tech rigs with their own merits---and yet I
feel as comfortable operating them as I do tinkering with the innards of my
other old "junque".

I think that's where we have it over those high falutin' appliance operators
out there: we can appreciate the merits of ALL generations of rigs, whereas
some of those guys are just too narrow-minded to do so...

Anyway, Jeff, I'm just glad that we are who we are...! Hi Hi

~73!~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ
