"jolly good job there young chap"

(in my best english accent)

i think it is great to see young people like yourself getting into these crafts,

i remember being about your age, and checking out a radio book from the early 1900's, with spark gap technology.

you should have seen the look on the local tv repair guys face (he was a ham operator) when i went looking for parts to build one, ( a spark gap transmitter).  YIKES!

he told me i would likely be arrested, lol, should i try to build one.

bottom line is, it was a start toward nearly 40 years of continued learning, never built the transmitter and i understand now why it would have been a bad idea.

still smiling over this young man and his endevour into windpower

post some pics when you can, and stick with it.
