Well Mike, I couldn't do what you do either! Cows scare me a little, wheat is for bread. But I knew about as much about radios as I did about cows. The stuff is pretty simple if you can run a soldering iron and read a schematic (think of it as a road map), just different cities as you move along it. Quite satisfying when you do one. Bet you wish you had that old Zenith big dial radio.
