Happy Cold Year,

May you all be in a warmer place than my 3rd floor office--or the
construction site across College Avenue!  FYI and those in ham
circles, Wendell Anderson died just before Christmas:
www.philly.com/philly/obituaries/20140107_Wendell_Anderson__was_RCA_engineer.html.
 His name rings bells with me for no obvious reason; he worked at RCA
Moorestown on classified projects so he left no open publication record.
 He did, however, gain some notoriety for developing a system for receiving
and printing weather satellite images, and I wonder if anyone copied him.
