Dr. Ulrich Rhode. I met him in 1986 at an RF Technology seminar, nice guy. We were interested in RF simulation software. He had just bought Compact Software and was answering questions of attendees. Much later I ran across him on ham radio, made 15 contacts.

Small plane lost engine power after take off. The pilot managed to glide to an empty parking lot next to a school. Hero!

He did suffer a back injury. And lost his homebuilt plane.

This is a mercury vapor three phase rectifier for a broadcast transmitter, about 250kW. I saw similar in a local TV station, down in it's basement back in 1967. Spooky,

I've been a bad ham. No HF contacts since 03/31/23. COVID-19 wiped me out, almost permanently. Still haven't rebuilt the station. Soon though.

1976 - this was my work bench. Messy.
But I had to work on anything Midland ever sold. CB, Ham, VHF Marine FM, test gear, CCTV, home and car stereo.

I used what was offered in the game, I'm no artist. But thanks for the idea!

Not looking too bad after 38 years in salt water. This is the Liberty Bell 7 Mercury capsule captained by Gus Grissom.

Note the wiring dress and lacing. Man in a Can!
