I remember one Lowfer with the call A3O with a water cooled RF coil so he wouldn't burn his house down....*wink*

In fact used the rig designed by them to work th first VE QSO with VA3 LK. The circuit is still shown on Steve VE7 SL's website. Single FET output. Both of them were doing intersting (and exploding) experiments and I spent many an hour monitoring them. Great pair of LF experimenters.

John: Thank you for your insights on TH et al. Yes I recall the late 1980s 
and a few local lowfers around Pittsburgh were QYV (sk) and GIR, A few 
others I dont seem to recall. At the time my local radio club had a Kenwood 
TS-440 and TS-430, I think the TS-430 had better LF sensitivity. It had a 
discrete component double balanced mixer and no preamp. I kind of miss that 
radio although I recall it had some known maintenance issues although not 
overwhelming....
