Thanks, Mike...

Regarding another transmitter:

Unfortunately, Having just spent huge $$$$ to buy, incorporate and start up
a business I really don't have a dollar to spend on parts for even the
cheapest systems. Bill has been my "Sugar Daddy" as far as the parts for the
matching circuit and current probe (for which I am VERY grateful). The
LW-MAX was from a previous attempt in another (employed) life. I found the
CW it generated to be so poor I was embarrassed to use it.

This Bed and Breakfast is one of those once-in-a-lifetime things for me and
I have sunk my life savings into it (literally, my entire 401K). And I still
had to take on debt.

It's hard for me to admit, but I can't afford a 74LS00 at Radio Shack right
now. So I am stuck with the LW-MAX.
