Looking 4 Spider SP-1
They are really hard to find these days. I have managed to pick up 2 of them and would like to find more . It would also be nice if someone offered them as a kit with just a couple of updated parts .

Twenty years a major change occured to the QRP amateur radio hobby
Gee maybe a 25th anniversary edition would make for a nice project .... Just ran into my Original badge from Ozarkcon 1 , I guess , in Joplin the other day. LOTS of GREAT memories of that first event

I think I worked the "Most Interesting Man in Amateur Radio"
Tim and several cast members did obtain a ham license, according to an article that I read and when his call was publicly released, I did look him up on QRZ. Don't remember the call however. Charlie,
