[JMS] Millen 90711 VFO

[Gary Carter]

Hello All,

First, I agree with Don. I don't see how Bob does it. Congrats on the 
NOS VFO Bob!

Second, my 90711 VFO is serial #358, has binding posts with the ground 
labeled, and is not NOS (but was darn close), hi hi!

Third, Don brings up something that he and I touched on briefly a few 
months back. One addition we may want to add to the JMS web site is a 
serial number database for the amateur radio components such as the 500 
watt amp, the four transmitters, both VFOs and especially the modulators 
(am I missing anything?). My initial thought is that callsign listing to 
correspond with component ownership should be optional if the owner 
doesn't wish that info to be public. In putting the database together we 
might get a clearer picture of when certain "themes and variations" 
appeared in the serial number sequence (this applies to the modulators 
more than the others). Between now and Rochester in late August I'm 
pretty much slammed so I won't be able to get anything started until 
after the AWA Conference. I'll also have to start teaching myself how to 
put together an Access database on the fly, if that's the best way to go 
for an online database (suggestions anyone?). In the meantime, start 
putting together a list of the previously mentioned items you may have 
in your station/collection/museum so when we do get to a point where 
we're ready to start compiling you'll already have the info we need from 
you.

Opinions from the membership?

73, Gary - WA4IAM
