I very much enjoyed listening to Dino KL0S and he has indeed inspired me to get more involved with my club the Hazel Park Amateur Radio Club. Thanks for the podcast.

Eric,

Enjoying listening to Steven Bible QSO with you while doing some work for the new ARRL VM Program...thought I'd send along this Handbook that your guest mentioned was out of print. Know that the person who invented SS was better known as the bombshell actress, Hedy Lammar (http://www.women-inventors.com/Hedy-Lammar.asp). It's about 36MH so it's a Google Drive link in PDF format.

Oops! My previous comment should have been under the Steve Bible interview. But I then enjoyed hearing your interview of Dino Papas KL0S, too. What a workbench...and what great ideas about club leadership!
