The Peter Dahl Company has NOT been sold. It is NOT moving across the border to Mexico.  The Peter Dahl Company has stopped production, is closing their doors, and will become part of Amateur Radio History!

But the NAME will live on!

Jeff Weinberg, W8CQ of Harbach Electronics, 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 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)...

Re: Harbach Electronics and Peter Dahl

From: "Jeff Weinberg W8CQ"

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.

(snip)

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.

Regards,

Jeff Weinberg W8CQ

I've heard great things about Jeff and his company from people I know and respect. To me this is a great day in Amateur Radio and I look forward to the future with Peter W Dahl firmly rooted in our hobby!

That's OUTSTANDING news.  Jeff's a great guy... he's been in the space ahead of us at Dayton for the past 10 years or so and we always have a hell of a lot of fun.

John you're right, he's a heck of a good guy.

I spent time talking with him while helping him and his crew put up the canopies this past Dayton.

Being's how he knows you miscreants, I hope that means he will know why the "AM crazies" keep pestering him for modulation transformers.

Just hope the hammies don't drive him crazy with requests for 1 kw broadcast quality modulation transformers, then piss 'n moan because he wouldn't do it for $20.00.

Yea.....I agree with KYV about the P&M over the $20 deal !

Don, those aren't just hammies, it's AM hammies that buy iron, except for VJB that's so kind to free loan equipment !!  I want that 300G so I can be a Tall Cruiser Ship ! Laugh !

Plenty of oil needed for this bunch of squeaky wheels !

It looks like a letter from Jeff, W8CQ. Why are you trying to take credit for it?
