howdy Telamon!

good hearing form you too! i'm having fun designing and building
simple (often single active device) radios. others run them in
contests. i listen to some kooks on shortwave. i would do more modern
design but it's not as fun programming PIC's, designing PCB's, and
"glueing" together chips. i would rather be winding toroids and
soldering on tube sockets.

regards,
phil
