An excellent example of homebrewing/homebuilding*:

* can't we also say; homemade, handmade or handcrafted? DIY?

 Isn't it great when "homebrew" doesn't look home-made ?  Wink The professional level stuff  looks mighty fine.

For some fine examples of excellent HB work, this issue of QST in the Old Radio section has some samples of Bob Dennison's, W2HBE's (sk) work.  He was one that both made things look and work great.  I met Bob a few times and he was quite a guy.  A great EE as well as very good practical building skills.

Didn't Bob get electrocuted by contacting the HV while working on an amplifier, or am I thinking of someone else?

Hi Don,

Bob, W2HBE became an SK due to health issues. 

I sure remember when Ralph, W2WME got the ultimate zap which took him out.  He worked on the gear all the time and I was "shocked" when I heard the news about him.  A heck of a great guy to chat with on the air.
