Thanks, Chris!

I passed on an issue early in this century where Bob had plans for a homemade MW ATU made of nothing but a hunk of PVC and wire to form the coil and taps. I'm still kicking myself for passing on it. I figured it would still be there the next week. Wrong.

I had a huge pile of mt in good condition, sold the lot cheap at a HAMfest. Years later regret selling, figured I'd never get to read them again and today saw a post at udxf from the host and we are back in biz! Like you I passed on the current issue hoping to catch the marked down pile later. Mr Ladd of Ladd Electronics in Omaha would sell an entire year for pennies on the dollar.
