[NJARC] Need a Volume Control

Thu Nov 19 04:49:13 EST 2009

Hello John,
               Good hearing from you OM! How have things been with you? I 
appreciate you putting me in touch with Al, as he has already sent me a 
email regarding the tapered 15K pot he needs for audio work. It would appear 
that his "stash" of them has been depleted - hi!

I've been up to the usual, and have high hopes of making it to the "Holiday" 
party this year, with my lovely wife Jocelyn.

What new acquisitions do you have? What's on your workbench? Have you been 
in the "smell solder fumes" mode trying to get something on the air? Let me 
know if you need any assistance with your HF AM station. We've a confirmed 
VHF FM contact, and I'd like to work you on 75M 'Fone. "Fone" stands for 
"AM"!

Do you or anybody else know where I can get a application to attend the 
party? I never received it.

Hope to BCNU and everyone else there.

Hi Joe,

Al Klase is looking for the pot -- I mean volume control -- not me.

Hey, how are you doin', OM?
