PW Dahl Company GONE; Harbach buys rights to name... 
________________________________________
Peter Dahl Company has NOT been sold. It is NOT moving across the border to
Mexico. Gary no longer works for the them. The Peter Dahl Company has
stopped production, is closing their doors, and will become part of Amateur
Radio History!

But the NAME lives on!

Jeff Weinberg, W8CQ of Harbach Electronics, has purchased the rights to the
name, the original transformer and choke specifications and designs, and the
design equipment.

The transformers will be built by MagCap Engineering using the original PWD
specs, and sold through Harbach Electronics under the Peter Dahl name. The
transformer and chokes will be FOB Canton, MA and shipped directly to the
customer from MagCap.

This is great news for the Amateur Radio Community and a great way to
memorialize the Peter Dahl Company who's innovations and designs have
brought so much to our hobby.

To nullify any further rumors or innuendos about the status or future of the
Peter W Dahl Company, let me share the following e-mail with you (edited for
content)...

Hi Dino,
Yes, the deal is finally completed. I have purchased all of the transformer 
designs and design equipment from Peter Dahl. I am moving the equipment 
here to Ohio. Once all of the computer design work has been updated and 
cataloged, I will be selling Peter Dahl transformers and chokes.

I should be up and running in a couple months.

MagCap will be building the transformers according to the original Peter
Dahl designs and specs and will be sold by Harbach Electronics under the
Peter W. Dahl name.

I've heard great things about Jeff and his company from people I know and
respect. To me this is a great day in Amateur Radio and I look forward to
the future with Peter W Dahl firmly rooted in our hobby!

God Bless Peter and his family as this chapter of their lives closes, and
long live the name of the fine man who has brought so much to our hobby.

73 Peter and thank you Jeff!
