Hi Jay:

	Actually, I wasn't claiming no one could actually do it;  I know
many can (I don't count myself among them, by the way).  I was leaning
more towards the fact that the average Ham of 50 years ago could do so
AND do it as cheaply with as much functionality, with little more than a
soldering iron and a reasonable bench setup.  Sorry if I wasn't clear.

	There was no intent to disparage the skills of anybody.  I know
a lot of Hams who do amazing work that is almost indistinguishable from
commercial stuff.  They still put in a lot more work and money into
doing so than the equivalent work to earn the money to buy it from the
local dealer.  That's what I was lamenting.
