Peter VK2EMU sent me this ad a while back. He said he regretted being unable to send a filter — all he could send was the ad. Thanks Peter — I think that ad is a work of art. Radio art. <\/b>

<\/b> Thanks too to all those who sent me mechanical filters. Pete sent the first one (it is currently in my HRO-ish receiver), then two more (both inside SBE transceivers, where they will remain — it would be a sin to cannibalize those beautiful rigs.) Then Mike Herr WA6ARA sent one as did Brad. Brad assures me that the one he sent was boxed up by Art Collins himself! <\/b>

<\/b> Thanks again guys. <\/b>
