[W8MWA] digital voltmeter and bipolar ramblings

[Jan Ditzian]

Ladies and Gentlemen and Randy of MWA,

Here is _one_ of the sellers of the digital voltmeter that I showed at 
the December Holiday meeting.  The first price is Canadian $, the lower 
$.93 price is US$.

For the profligate few that can afford the big bux (perhaps you won the 
50/50), here is the version with the plastic covering:

Be careful, with many of these inexpensive items a range of prices is 
offered, with some of the goods NOT BEING THE ACTUAL VOLTMETER.  In the 
above, the RED led version is $1.07, but the BLUE or GREEN led versions 
are $1.25.  I don't want a club member to come back to me and say, 
"Thanks Jan, I missed my last mortgage payment because the voltmeter 
that you said was $1.07 was actually $1.25, and now I have to take down 
the super quarter-wave magmount I had on my aluminum downspout and find 
another home.  I hope that you drop dead!"  Your request may be all that 
the Almighty needs to reconsider whether or not I fit into His future plans.

No one has actually said this to me, but one cannot be too careful these 
days.

By the way, if you are into Elecraft radios, there is a company called 
QRPWorks, that makes add-ons for Elecraft radios.  I just got an e-mail 
from my college, freshman year, second semester, roommate, Steve 
Silverman, KB3SII, formerly W1ZPT, who says he is one of the two 
founders/owners of that company.  Small world.

CU Thursday, Amigos.  Los Mariachis in Suncrest.

Sched with ZD7VC Monday at 3:00 PM, 14.310 +/- MHz.  Give it a shot if 
you have HF.

DX IS,

Jan, KX2A, Kosher ham
