[TowerTalk] BIG array

[ve4xt at mts.net]

It occurs to me that we're all in this for different reasons: some to 
challenge their operating skill, some to tinker and learn about 
semiconductors, some to tinker just for the hell of it.

I suspect for this gent, the mechanical engineering challenge is the thing. 
The wisdom of it electrically is probably beside the point.

Hey, more power to him! I'd love to hear it in action!
