Stopped by the PO box this morning on the way to work and found the
latest QST.
Front cover photo of a homebrew spectrum analyzer unit, which is the
subject of a feature article inside. Don't know why they did not put a
picture of SK Barry Goldwater, K7UGA, on the front cover since he is the
subject of 3 articles (Editorial, Happenings column, and separate article
- "Thanks, Barry").
