I meet James KC5LDO for an eyeball QSO and a tour of his shack, while my wife and his chatted for a while. ( I think this was the highlight of the trip for my wife, she gets dragged along and usually has to fend for herself.)
I had a chance to look over some of the great projects he had built. I got a first hand demonstration on how his Regenerative Receiver works. That is one hot little receiver. With only a short antenna, it pulled in many stations. Home brewing at its finest! We talked radios, antennas, and all the things you expect radio nuts to discuss. I showed James what I had so far with my own Regenerative Receiver and of course he spotted right off a problem I had been working on for the last few days.
Well it wasn't long before I had to get back on the road ( had to work that night). James loaded me up with a sack full of parts, (thanks again James) we all said our goodbys and hit the road...
Oh yea there was this UFO thing we saw on the way back :)
You just never know what you might see on the road...
