thanks for sharing that Jeff. I was just telling a neighbor on the remote island in EN48 a Charley Dewey story this morning! I sent him at email(he was about 93 or so) asking him to weigh in on a VNA I was thinking of buying. He reviewed the literature and sent me back an email that I treasure to this day. I enjoyed Wednesday Lunch with him very much. Great Ham Radio Story.
