[NJARC] Need a Volume Control

Sat Nov 21 12:35:16 EST 2009

Boungiorno Giuseppe,

Como esta!

I'm OK -- but work has been a bit of a nightmare lately.

Have not done much solder melting in quite a while, but did have fun at our recent  working on a couple of really nice Bo Tankers.

Yes, I very much want to work you on 75 AM. We should have skedded last winter. Now my vertical has been damaged by high winds or something. Time for a nice big dipole. I should have bought that nice Johnson Matchbox that I saw at Parsippany.

Have many projects in the queue -- want to get a DX-100 on the bench ASAP and hopefully get it on the air this winter. Lots of tranmitters sitting around looking at me forlornly and saying "work on ME!" "no, work on ME!"
I avoid their sad looks by not going down to the basement. ;-)

I hope to see you at the Holiday party!

73,

John R.
