  2. Considering I have a W9 call, once the single most numerous district in the U.S., that makes perfect sense!

    The BroadcastersFoundation site was swamped when I looked. Not surprising, considering I found out about the archive site from several different sources in one day.

  6. Bobbi! Wow, it's been a long time! And . . . looks like we have the same "rant". I happen to be one of those who restores these old Letterpresses. I own a regular Letterpress Printing & Design company, Paper Wren Press (www.paperwrenpress.com), I just re-started my Radio/Printing blog (www.q5letterpress.blogspot.com), and I maintain a Printing Education site, largely for other printers (www.gjohanson.blogspot.com). Still reading the Red Jacket QSTs, still pounding brass, still messing with the simple side of radio, regen receivers, MOPAs and the like . . . . still WD4NKA. Miss the discussions we used to have years back on Glowbugs (which I departed from 2004, to start the Regenrx group). Stay in touch, will ya? You're the only one around who knows who the Dixie Squinch Owl was !! :) Email: Paperwrenpress@gmail.com or wd4nka@aim.com
