I share a common bond with two notable figures in history, those being E. Howard Armstrong and Brad Pitt. Yes, that bond, the same birthday, December the 18th.
Armstong impacted our hobby with two major inventions: The Super Regen and The Super Heterodyne. For the 45 Minute Wonders, the Superhet was not an invention by a K Pop Group and featured on a Tik Tok video.
Of course, Armstrong is a SK (long ago) but Pitt is still with us and might I add purring right along on all 16 cylinders. Pitt is 62 and his Girl Friend is 33 so that might explain the "pep in his step".

Bravo, Brad, and have a great movie shoot in Greece. This truly is an OM and a very nice YL! Are the really baggy pants a part of a disguise or something else? Style is likely not the message.
Based on the Novice Special, QST 1956
The above circuit came from the February 1959, RCA Ham Tips (N4TRB website) and is a part of a project called "The Weekend Special". This is part of a 40M Valved CW transceiver that fits in a typewriter case. OK BTE's typewriters were before computers or the internet. I have my suspicions that the W7ZOI "Ugly Weekender" may be a solid-state update to W2QEX's (Lee Aurick) 1959 project. OK conspiracy theorists do you find it strange that the suffix of the call became the title of the ARRL techie publication QEX.
Them that know can make things go and those who don't know wished they did.
