Interesting, and sorry I was so negative.

Interesting info on the Pittsburgh museum. If I ever get there I will check it out. I've read many of Tesla's papers including the Century magazine piece. And yeah, he did get wierd later in life, but it was probably due in large part to being driven insane by having his greater ideas unfunded and others profiting enormously from his genius while he had no money. I'm hoping to be able to afford a leatherbound copy of his Colorado Springs Notebook before it goes out of print. For my second quarter project at ITT Tech, I built a Tesla coil with a three-foot secondary. Got three to four inch sparks off it and a Project of the Quarter award. It was the perfect project since we were studying AC, capacitance, inductance, resonance, etc. Still have it, though I haven't fired it up in almost a year.
Sorry to sound so negative about CW. It's just the ATTITUDE of superiority exuded by many of its practitioners that puts me off. I am interested in learning CW and expanding my knowledge and privileges, but I just have trouble getting past that ATTITUDE. But I've written too much about that already in this forum.
Thanks again for your interesting perspective on the hf bands.
