[Lowfer] Cornell's Book

[Charlie , W5COV]

Pete,

I love the interesting stories about Ken . I wish I had a full set of his 
books . I get the volumes out that I have about once a year and sit down 
during the winter and read them once again.

Too bad that his 10th workbook was never published .

Not all of us are radio type engineers , so I guess that puts me pretty much 
in the class of a tinkerer . Not bad company since that is what they called 
Edison too .

I depend a LOT on other peoples designs , but I also am willing to try some 
strange things or things that aren't supposed to work at these frequencies .

We would never make any progress at these frequencies , if it weren't for 
people like you and Ken and Ken taking the time to publish the works . It 
keeps everyone from reinventing the same wheel over and over again .

My first rig in the early 70's was all tube and of course it was legal 
<grin>!! I built it ( the transmitter) from someone's diagram back then and 
as I remember it used a 6BZ6 as a final . Never got more than about a mile 
or so , but that was good enough under the right conditions to work my two 
buddies on that didn't have a ham ticket .It was also private from the CB 
bunch .

Thanks to all of the people that are real radio engineers and for them 
sharing their work so guys like me can enjoy this wonderful hobby , where 
building and experimenting are still alive and well .
