Welcome back, Joe. Glad you got through it so well.

I think you and Frank need to issue each other some special commemorative certificates for that rare horsepistol-to-horsepistol AM QSO. A rare one(thankfully), indeed! 

Todd,
        Good to hear from you OM and hope to modulate the aether with you in the near future! Your old 75A-2A is singing soprano and really performs well. I stuck a "N3IBX poor mans' 12kc+ AM mechanical filter" that consists of a R+C network in the slot next to the REAL COLLINS 3.1kc slopbucket filter and it works real well. Just don't go asking me for brick wall selectivity - hi hi!

Maybe one of these days the mechamical filter fairy will bestow upon me a real 6kc filter with a meatball logo on it - hi!

Yes, Frank and I had a horsepistol to horsepistol QSO via electret be-elemented microphoniums!

Mod-U-later,
                 Joe Cro N3IBX

May your signals be strong,
your transmissions be long,
and your reception be static free.

I like it!

Welcome back Joe. You can't keep a good man down!

Yo Steve, U Da man! It's real good to hear from you. It's guys like you, Paul, VJB, Frank, AHE, Mike(y), SLK, "Buddly" etc that keep things going for all of us.

Hope to have a nice OB QSO with you in (BRAAAAAAAaaaapppp) the near future, preferably on 160 metros, like the old days.

Test 123 YUUUUURRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!

Joe it's real good to see that you're home.

Now get on the air so I don't have to live off the "Best of The Vortex" series.

Paul,
That video is a classic!  Thanks for posting it. 

Joe, you need to get back on AM.  Been hearing you on slop bucket way to often lately

Joe, GMS
