Now, if you want to "build from scratch" totally, you
will have to learn to SUCK all the air out of the tubes
you build for yourself (honoring the "tradition").
That's rather difficult (truly, vacuum sucks)...but
much, much easier than first creating ultra-pure
silicon and then doping the microscopic areas on it to
become the solid-state device you need. [sorry you
can't build "spark" transmitters...those being forbidden
in these modern times unlike a hundred years ago]

There was a fellow who did construct his own tubes. See the
publication "50 Years of ARRL".

Jeffie...(SNIP)...No need to go any further.

In as much as Jeff has NOT used such diminutives for Len, I
wonder where Markie's righteous indignation about "rudeness" is...?!?!

Or does such "indignation" not extend to others outside the
Circle of the Feeble Five?
