Also Frank Lloyd Wright, for at least some of his career.

Very early but his big days were in AZ.

Whew. You hit some more buttons with this one. I like the T1 better
than the S1. But the K4 is the ultimate classic PRR power.

As K2ASP sez, the GG-1 is the top of that pyramid.

Yeah, for you sparkies maybe.

For streamlined steam engines, the special J-3 Hudsons used on the New
York Central's Twentieth Century Limited are the most impressive.

Engineers are generally the guys who make things work. Designers are
those who make them nice to look at. We all know of the exceptions.

"Scientists dream of doing great things. Engineers do them"

A physicist and an engineer standing in bulap bags line up side by
side at one end of a basketball court.

There ia blonde to kill for at the other end of the basketball court.

Whoever gets to the blonde first gets his way with her.

The rule: Each successive hop has to be one half the distance of the
previous hop.

The engineer takes off like a bat outta hell. The Physicist doesn't
move and hollers at the engineer "You silly fool, you'll never get
there!"

The engineer hollers back "Watch me get close enough!"

And a recent auction sold an *unbuilt* Heath SB-303 for about $1300.
Adjusted for inflation, that's about what they cost new. But the '303
isn't much of a receiver - not even up to the level of the earlier
SB-301, and defintitely not in the same class as the Drake R4 family
or any Collins, A or S.

And for anywhere from $250 to maybe $500. Goofy.

Madison Electronics in Texas. Bill Kennamer K5FUV edited their "QRZ DX"
for a number of years before going to the DXCC desk in Newington to
replace Don Search.

If/when I ever make it your place you'll have to let read some of 'em.

Road trip!

Prolly.

Now Len can't
accuse us of not discussing amateur radio policy, his favorite topic for
some obscure reason.

Len who?

Oh you remember him James, the radio genius who needed 40Kw to QSO
W7/W6 from JA.
