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.

Regards,
Jeff Weinberg W8CQ

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!
