[HBR] Recollections of a Radio Receiver, by Jay Helms, W6HHT

[William Wood]

I have to ditto Cal's remarks here, I'm only a little more then half  
way through on my first read, and have already learned several  
things.  One of which is something I need to read up more about is  
tapered coils.  For one reason or another this never sunk in, or I  
never ran across it, very interesting for sure : )  Glad I got the  
disk before I started...
