Latest QST?

[Terry N4TLF]

To be clear, I'm not totally opposed to the tube transmitter article.  I 
immediately saw the irony of an AM tube transmitter juxtaposed to the 
description of the "new" QST on the preceding page.  Plus, giving it the 
cover and placing it in the obviously respected first DIY article.  If it 
had been further back in the issue, I wouldn't have cared as much.

There were several other articles that I was interested in (SDR, FT8, Red 
Pitaya VNA, etc).  I wish any one of them had been given more focus.

No need to burn your QSTs at dawn.  By lunchtime will be fine....
73, Terry, N4TLF

  Looks to me like a good introduction to simple EMP resistant
design. Except for D1. replace with a 6X4? Needs a regen receiver to
go with it.
