Send it in and tell them why it's the best.
It's much better than some guy looking at a tuner.

Great pix, Jon.  You've really get a handle on the SS QRO deal.

Good seeing you at Copafest, too.

Hey Dennis,

I mounted that key that you traded me at the hamfest. It's perfect! I'm going to use it on straight key night this year with my little 20 meter crystal controlled 5-watter.

Or, better yet, straight-key the 24-fetter... who the hell knows  :)

Excellent.  That big reel of coax is going into our property video surveillance system.

What Dennis said is 100% right. That rig deserves to be on the cover based on it being leading edge high tech home brew.

Your set-up reminds me of the old 1920's sparkgap,etc. photos, looks very cool, your picture makes Ham Radio look Fun,
should inspire alot of people, Can't you find a way to stick a Vacuum Tube in somewhere, just for us tube guys??
even a Nixie tube or something?? Great picture looks like you did a wonderfull job.

During the photo shoot, we did snap one that was a little more sinister looking. My wife even said not to use that one because it looks like, "Mwah-ha-haaaa… look what I built!"
