And to think.... the casual observer would see the Elecraft genre as only about a really cool cadillac of a portable rig that you can build. IMHO, the fact that it is a catalyst of imagination, bringing together ideas of things to try, wether it be vintage tube (valves for those of you across the pond), processor based projects, or a combination thereof, is the real prize!! If I had a dollar for everytime I looked at the reflector email digest and said "wow- that is a really cool idea", I could afford to build everything Elecraft sells! 73s & 72s Pete > > From: Bill Coleman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/06/09 Fri PM 06:40:50 CDT> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL > PROTECTED]> > CC: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net>, > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] re: Nixie tube display for the K2 > > > On Jun 8, 2006, at 9:33 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > I am working on an building a "Novice Special" 12 watt transmitter > > - think 70s qst - uses a 6c4 and a 5763 tube.
