I must agree with both Chas, K5DAM and Eddy, VE3CUI. I love to make things
but after settling down from retirement and cancer. I find my mind is not
quite what it was 40 years ago, don?t know if its age or sucking down too
much morphine with the cancer. I still do my antennas and tilt ups and
tuners but no new amps on the horizon. I keep telling myself I will
complete one more small one, have most of the parts ready. I still like to
read the mail in the group.
All are different, it would be dull if we are were from the same mold.

Hi Chas,
Well, believe you me, I haven't exactly been letting the proverbial grass
grow under my B-hind here either for the 37+ years that I've been a Ham!
Non-homebrewers --- IMHO --- really and truly are missing a core element of
what makes one a Ham. Our mantra USED to be that the fraternity was composed
of "...tinkerers and experimenters"...I shall continue to try to personally
live up to that philosophy for as long as I might continue to be fortunate
enough to stay one step ahead of the ranks of Silent Keys, Hi Hi...
