I quit hitting "next" around pix 100. Amazing. Way to go Joe! Title: Re: Trip to the Vortex Post by: WA2ROC on May 01, 2014, 10:50:30 AM Fantastic looking collection, but I am absolutely amazed at his "Shelf Deflection Test Apparatus".

I forget who visited him when they sat in his operate chair and a large rig fell on them. That guy was very lucky to still be around.
