Yes I would like it, I went to the place on Cape Cod where Marconi first broadcast from the US. (he broadcast first from Canada), there's not much left as they pulled down the towers in the 20's but there is a little model of the station (spark gap) and a few of the cement pilons he used to keep the towers up in the air. Erosion has washed away the place where the two outer towers were anyway. But it was a cool place, I might go down again this year.
I thought your shop was in New Haven Ct.?
I can't get my scanner working, I wish
I were as good with digital stuff as I am with tube circuitry, but nope, it bores the hell out of me.
