I thought the article was kinda of lame, but I am sure they were writing it 
for non-hams.  However I sure loved that old picture!

Now that's pretty darn cool!   How many of todays yout' even get that 
opportunity to develop respect for lethal high voltages ;-)

I know they are just using Twitter as an example of modern media, but I 
just read an interesting statistic - 60% of Twitter users quit using it 
after one month:

http://www.digidaydaily.com/stories/the-twitter-quitters-nielsen-rexamines-twitter-attrition/

Kinda puts those who bemoan the fate of ham radio into perspective.

Here is the  link to the ATC article.

Interestingly, the photo on the ATC web page shows a real homebrew amateur 
radio station from 1939, not a ricebox station full of plastic radios or a 
shack-on-a-belt.

Re: [AMRadio] AMRadio Digest, Vol 75, Issue 4

[Jack Griffin]

Allen KA1KIX,
I hope you have some of these tubes before you decide on the amp design. These 
are very expensive.
The 1990 ARRL Handbook has an 8877 HF amp and power supply. It will probably be 
in others around that time.

Hi Allen,

Don't know if you received an answer or not but check The Radio Handbook 
(by Bill Orr).  I have the 21st edition and on page 22.40 is a diagram 
and layout for a single 8877 in GG for 80 through 10 meters.

[AMRadio] OT: Old Call books

[W5AMI]

Does anyone have some older call books from the late 60's, 70's, maybe early
80's that could look up a call for me and see who held it?
Please email me off list as the matter is somewhat sensitive to discuss on
the list.

Thanks
Brian / w5ami
