September was the last issue of '73' magazine - published by Wayne Green
- who began (and lost) Byte, then started Kilobaud..
Not that everyone always agreed with Wayne - but it's sad to see a
Publication cease after so many years...
C'est la Vie, I guess...
Cheers

Oh, he's a swell guy. I'm sure he didn't really mean it when at the first
VCF East he came up right after Eldon Hall, the guy who designed the
Apollo Guidance Computer for the Moon Mission, and proceeded to sketch out
his evidence debunking the US moon landing.

Nope, the 1L6 works fine, want to replace the caps
and rebuild the power supply ( The set is older than
I am ) and get real DOC's. The problem seems to be
with the auto-magic gain control and or the selenium
rectifier as it plays for about 10 seconds and then
it goes quiet. Ben.

A 1L6 short of a Trans-Oceanic?

Darn too, I just bought a A Zenith Trans-oceanic Radio too, with

to ham radio?
