> The Peter W. Dahl Company (http://www.pwdahl.com/) in El Paso, Texas, will be 
> closing its doors as of December 31, 2007, according to Peter Dahl, K0BIT, owner 
> and founder of the company that has made custom transformers for more than 40 
> years. Dahl, 67, is suffering from Parkinson's Disease. The company manufactured 
> a wide variety of transformers and reactors for Amateur Radio and commercial 
> radio and television applications. According to Dahl, many are direct 
> replacements for original equipment components that are no longer available from 
> the manufacturer, while others have general-purpose applications in any number 
> of different transmitters. He said that they had more than 4000 individual 
> transformer designs on file. QST columnist John Dilks, K2TQN ("Old Radio"), said 
> the closing of the Dahl Company was "sad news for those of us who restore the 
> big iron." Dahl told the ARRL, "I want to thank everyone for their business 
> throughout the years. I have enjoyed making each Amateu 
> r Radi 
> o transformer." -- Thanks to John Dilks, K2TQN
