[R-390] Ed Fong article on R390A

[Don Kammer]

HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY TODAY TO THE R390-A SUPER-HOT-HETERODYNE RECEIVER AND
ITS MASTER CRAFTSMAN RESTORER - CHUCK RIPPEL!!!

Amazing how they were both born on the same day...!  (Are we sure they're
not TWINS)?!?!?!

Funny thing about Ed Fong, who's article inspired Chuck to put that
(birthday) information on his website.  I've started reading Ed's
article(s), and based on his callsign within said article(s), I looked him
up on QRZ.com.  Come to find out that, although I live in Colorado Springs,
I'm working for about a month and a half in Palo Alto (to help launch a
satellite), but am staying in Sunnyvale.  Ed lives almost exactly 1 mile
south of the Quality Inn where I'm staying, and I'm sorely tempted to walk
down there and thank him for his article that indirectly started all of
this hoopla!

Just hadda share...

Best to All on this very highly auspicious occasion!
