Hi Allison,

From '83 to '93. Had a 6digit number as I was part of CSSE and
central engineering for high end printing systems. I really liked the
Mill.

Ah..OK CSSE ... I sold a PDP11/10 with a card reader from CSS to the
Italian Goverment as a donation to a University in Peru'...the highest
PDP11 installation on the world at that time...hi


Ah, the plastics fire if memory serves. Never played with any of the
15bit hardware or the controls. Just PDP-8, 10, 11 and VAX.

OK. PDP9 and 15 wer 18bits .. I did some work on DEC10, 11 and when
the VAX came out I was in sales... I made some of the first sales in
Italy and most of my VAXes were linked in Decnet to PDP11/70 and 45.

Just finishing up a 85W brick for it now.

Nice power. On 6 meters I have an FT726 with the 50MHz converter (RX) supermodified ... the only original pieces are 1x Jfet and 2 IFTs ...hi.
I also have an FT920 a Xmas gift (a few years ago) from my good FRIEND
(with capital letters !!!) Art (and his wife)...hi

Just talked to him this weekend! He's about 30miles NE of me. Next
net I'll mention you name and say HI.. One of his project was to
restart the old AM nets, he's got maybe 6-8 regulars.

How nice... Too bad we did not get in touch during my business
quarterly trips in W1 (for confessions with my boss 2000 to 2003...hi).
I was usually at K1GBX house at weekends ... eating lobsters and other
good stuff...hi.When I took my wife and my daugther Luisa for her first
trip we even had a story in a local newspaper and picture...hi
I m sure when you will tell him we had this kbd chatting he will jump
on his chair and get crazy...hi For a jike tell him we had a QSO on 6
meter SSB... than you will tell him the true story...hi

Small world, smaller if we get some propagation.

Yes, amateur radio makes the world really small, some time ... hi

Sorry for this non Mixers conversation for our friends.... I will
comment on the following...
