    Can't come back with a good one to frequency counter with. Let me go take a grid leak and I'll be back in a while.

    Just don't take a dip afterwards.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Personally, I'd pull the cover off that Astron, sand it, and then hit it with a couple of coats of black or grey Rustoleum. But I'm sure you already knew that.
    I was planning on doing that before it takes its place in the shack. The B&W is going to get some clean up also. I was told that the Astron might not work but when powered up the only thing that did not work was the meter on the face.

    It's a classic.

    Watt else can I say? It's a waste of energy to counter-dict those.

    Funny you should mention that. I was sent a link to an outfit that was selling digital voltmeters for a pittance. I ordered a couple, but since they're coming from VR2, I don't expect them for a few weeks yet.

    I'm hoping to use one each on my RS-35, RS-12, and RS-7. If they all work & I don't blow one up, I ought to have a few extras... but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

    Do you still give your xyl a high frequency slug? I wanted to give my xyl that but I was always afraid she would turn it and I would see reflected power.

    No, we don't have a slug problem in the garden. Or much of a general critter problem there in general. LucyFurr takes care of that...

    You are a bunch of Punny guys. I am trying to maintain the capacity to resist the temptation for additional input. I may have to spin the knob.../
