Our correspondent Bob Crane W8SX caught up with prolific builder Greg Latta AA8V. Greg gave an FDIM talk on how to make aluminum chassis without having a machine shop. I guess I am now going to have to buy a belt sander from Amazon.
I was really glad that Greg mentioned his real passion: retro building. FB Greg. I have talked to Greg several times on the ham bands — it is always an inspirational experience.
