Thanks and hi to everyone

[kf2vm]

I hope I am doing this reply right. Yes, I can't wait to get back on. I am just real busy with the new business, family life, etc. Don, I went to Eritrea to build a few Shortwave stations. They are called the Voice of the Broad Masses of Eritrea. 10,000 watts, and unfortunately, one of the frequencies is 7.020Mc/s. There still is alot of Italian influence, but not as much as say, from 1939 to 1980. I was suprised at the amount of Italian being spoken as well as the normal Tigrinia.(Spelling??) I was also suprised at how clean, and "normal" everything is compared to the majority of Africa. They are a beautiful people. I had built a 3 kw class E transmitter for 2 to 11 Mc/s, but donated it to the the group out there. I have another heatsink, with the FETS on it, but I have to build another 0 degree hybrid combiner before I can use it. As soon as my reject loads come, I'll be able to finish it, and be on the air. I can't make Hopkinton. I have a big studio rebuild Upstate, and as usual, I'm already behind schedule. I do however, and I quote; "LISTEN TO YOU GUYS ALL THE TIME!!!". I can't count how many lonely over night jobs all of you have kept me company on. I miss you guys. I'm looking at the end of October before I can get on. Things should calm down by then. Your all in my prayers. Take care, and thanks.     JAMIE

Jamie,
        I'm glad things are doing well for you! Many have inquired about your whereabouts.
     
        Hope to "mod-u-later" sometime on 75 or 160 Meters.
        Best Regards,

Hi Jamie,

It's great to hear from you.

Your SWBC efforts help make POSITIVE effects in today's world and that's terrific and much needed!

Hey Jamie, nice to hear you are back. Alot of water has traveled under the bridge since we last shot the shit on 75M (cripes, I think I was still KC4SLK then!) Would like to hook up with you for an eyeball one of these times. Keep your head out of transmitter hot-air exhaust

We have missed you, Jamie.  It's good to hear from you now, if only in print.  Get a radio machine back on the air!  73 fer sure,
