Hi, List Members! Others may be interested in the allusion I made earlier to a radio pioneer who met a tragic end. Major Edwin Armstrong, the inventor of frequency modulation and the heterodyne method, earned patents for his inventions. But the enormous effort to defend his patents eventually was more than he could bear. He took his own life.
Oddly enough, a somewhat similar fate awaited R. Raymond Rife, whose supermicroscope worked on the principle of optical heterodyning. Rife died a broken man. Patents are sometimes pyrrhic victories. Best wishes, Matthew
