[Lowfer] Thank you Pete!

> What model Tektronix do you have?

The ones I have on the way are an old 310 and a 310A. The 310 was one of the 
first Tek scopes to use printed circuit boards, but the 310A went back to the 
ceramic strip type construction.

I got hooked on Tek stuff about nine months ago now when I was working on a 
LowFER beacon. My o'scope died and I ended up getting at Tek 7514. Then I got 
a Tek 7704A. That's my main bench scope these days. Also picked up a Tek 2336 
for portable use--sweat little o'scope that was used by the military and 
other "hard duty" users.

I've got a "retro" station with a Heathkit HW-101, a Hammarlund HQ-110, and a 
Lafayette general coverage receiver. I figure the Tek 130 will feel at home 
setting beside them. :-)

My goal is to get some wire in the air this weekend. The DIR LowFER beacon is 
ready except for that--keyer, oscillator, driver, final amp, loading coil, 
etc.. I doubt I make it on the air this weekend, but I should be going before 
the end of the month.
