[Johnson] Woufhong, There May be More than One

Thu, 11 Apr 2002 23:20:58 -0400

I have one in my shack, too. It is also a casting. Mine even has some red
paint on the tip, sort of like blood maybe, eh. By the way, there was an
article some time ago in QST, I think concerning its origin. I got mine from
John Foster, W�YDX, SK, the designer of the KW1 and Viking 500 among others
and a very good friend of mine.
