[Fourlanders] Peter Dahl Co. - some optomistic news

[Rogers, Ron]

>From QRZ Forum a couple days ago >>>
 
 
Peter Dahl Company has NOT been sold. It is NOT moving across the border to Mexico. Gary no longer works for the them. The Peter Dahl Company has stopped production, is closing their doors, and will become part of Amateur Radio History!

But the NAME lives on!

Jeff Weinberg, W8CQ of Harbach Electronics <http://www.harbachelectronics.com/> , has purchased the rights to the name, the original transformer and choke specifications and designs, and the design equipment.

The transformers will be built by MagCap Engineering <http://www.magcap.com/>  using the original PWD specs, and sold through Harbach Electronics under the Peter Dahl name. The transformer and chokes will be FOB Canton, MA and shipped directly to the customer from MagCap.

This is great news for the Amateur Radio Community and a great way to memorialize the Peter Dahl Company who's innovations and designs have brought so much to our hobby.

To nullify any further rumors or innuendos about the status or future of the Peter W Dahl Company, let me share the following e-mail with you (edited for content)...

Hi Dino,
Yes, the deal is finally completed. I have purchased all of the transformer 
designs and design equipment from Peter Dahl. I am moving the equipment 
here to Ohio. Once all of the computer design work has been updated and 
cataloged, I will be selling Peter Dahl transformers and chokes.

I should be up and running in a couple months.

MagCap will be building the transformers according to the original Peter Dahl designs and specs and will be sold by Harbach Electronics under the Peter W. Dahl name.
