Do it, Mike.


Probably wouldn't be cutting edge.


Doesn't matter.


Most contributions I could make would be
geared toward homebrewing, and most likely on panel layout technique,
ergonomics and (gasp) aesthetics. If they print an article about doing
panels in Powerpoint, the state of Amateur radio equipment layout could
use the boost.


Yep. Or how to make nice looking dials, labels, meter scales, etc.

One ham I know has made a schematic drawing utility based on MS Paint.
The various components are essentially clipart, as I understand it.

Hans would probably still make fun of it tho'! ;^)


So would some others, including at least one who's not even a ham. So what?

One of my articles was June, 1994, IIRC.


Did this post just recently make it to your server, Jim? I posted it
quite a while back. I've noticed this in a few of my posts to the group.
I just wonder where the messages go for a few weeks? 8^)

But yes, maybe I will just write something up. Maybe include ergonomics
too.
