Hi Bill,<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Long time no see! A while back I picked up a Kindle and have really enjoyed having an electronic way to tote around my Sprat PDF files and books. I decided to download a copy of Soldersmoke on the Kindle and re-read it and have enjoyed that very much. I am now reading your other book (just started) Contra Cross and look forward to enjoying that one as well.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Not much happening in the melting solder department, but I am working with an old National SW-3 regen receiver that I picked up on eBay. I am building a power supply for it and hope to have it on the air soon. Yeah, I know… I am from the dark side and enjoy regens. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
We are having a stretch of nice weather out west and I have been flying as much as I can get away with as a result as it only lasts so long, eh? I flew up to the San Juan Islands and took the “Cub” transceiver with me up to Orcas Island camping a few weeks ago and had fun shunt loading a chain link fence. Made a few local contacts on 40 CW.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
The cloud formations off the south end of San Juan Island the next morning were really cool! Check out the photos attached.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Hope all is well with you and your family. Take care, my friend.<\/span><\/div>\n
