Kudlow is Jewish who converted to Roman Catholism in 1996.

Hardly a far right wing fundamentalist Christian.

?? ever hear of marciel maciel? there are far right wing fundamenalist
catholics.

I assume you are attempting to tie the Legion of Christ and Regnum
Christi to "fundamentalism"?

Neither is "fundamentalist". *Maciel founded both, but neither is
"radical" in the sense that they practice a faith outside the
boundries of normal Catholic practice and worship. *He, however, was a
whack job. *

Even at that, as far as I know, Mr. Kudlow is not a member of Regnum
Christi which is a lay ministry associated with, but not controlled by
the Legion.

He's also been wrong more than he has been right.

which is why he's conservative

That's what I like about you Bob - logic and reason are your strong
suit.

Anyway...

I haven't been around in a while - how's your XYL? *I assume she
recovered from the broken leg ok? *Splash the Tolly yet?

You'd be interested in this - I was cleaning out my shack the other
day and discovered a crate of "stuff" that I bought at the Boxboro
Flea Market must have been 20 years ago. *Drake T-X4C, R-4C and a
TR-7. *I had forgotten all about them. Boxes and manuals too. Bought
them from a guy who was active in Air Force MARS as I remember. :)

The good news is that they fired up ok and load just fine. *The bad
news is that they still have the old crappy caps and resistors so they
are all original. Something of a conumdrum as I like the fact that
they are all original, on the other hand if I'm going to actually use
them in the various "antigue" QSO parties they really need to be
updated. *And I think the finals in the T-X4C are soft - if I'm going
to change those, might as well change everything.

So the antique collection has just self-expanded. *Heh. *What with the
S-line I inherited from my Dad, the KWM-2, the Hallicrafters stuff I
inherited from my Uncle and my SX-100 (1A) and now the Drake stuff,
I've got quite a boat anchor collection.

Like they say - real radios glow in the dark. *:)

My father passed when I was young, but I remember he had a Morrow
receiver in his car and an Eico transmitter and Hammerlund receiver
in his supposed *radio shack* which was an converted smoke house. Q-
cards lining the wall, and the hammering of his home-built Morse code
machine which was reminiscent some type of a modified office stapler.
Not counting his whistling into a microphone while making various
adjustments. I never could understand this practice, so I asked him
why he whistled into the mic and he told me to see "where it peaks."

And that's about all I remember of his ham days.

Yes, the glow of the tubes and the heat.
