Regarding Steve N4LQ's previous post:
Larsen and I were good friends before his untimely demise. We used to hunt
spamalope together. He had a sharp mind but was the victim of many skeptics
concerning his technical expertise. Now, many are coming to realize the many
truths he revealed in his articles. Somewhat of a seer, Larsen predicted
such things as:
1. Remote tuning knobs
2. Automatic cw spotting systems
3. Robust transistor final amplifiers
4. Rigs with microchirp by year 2000
5. Rigs with built in tv screens that display clouds
6. All rigs to be black by 2002
7. Huge glut of 12m mobile antennas
There's just too much to list.
RIP OM Larsen

Steve: My beloved TT 12m mobile antenna and I are highly indignant at being
linked with spamalope and microchirp.
I am loaning my Scout to a new ham/co-worker as an incentive to pass the 5
wpm test. The 12m mobile antenna will not be included in the loan as it is
too valuable and irreplaceable.
