Hi all, I am looking for information on W3WGH, SK. I am purchasing an antenna tuner that he build, and would like to know more about hims (or her) as my QTH is a "living museum" if you will. I like to know who or what company built all of my old boat anchor gear, and add any information to a archive that I maintain. When I go to the great shack in the sky, I want whoever obtains my gear to know everything that there is to know about it, including any information on the individual who might have built the gear. Thank you very much, Joe KB0TXC
