Thank you Mark VK6WV

Amateur radio has some very kind and generous people still.

In the post today I received a letter from Australia quite unexpectedly. In it were a number of 480kHz ceramic resonators that Mark VK6WV had sent me, as a gift, for me to try in a 472kHz transmitter. Mark, many thanks!  This was a very nice surprise in the best spirit of amateur radio. I shall indeed use these to build a little 472kHz tunable CW transmitter. I'll also try using these in an RF stage of a receiver for the 472kHz band.

This is not the first time I have been on the receiving end of generous fellow amateurs and it is so lovely to know that there are kind people about who simply want to give and to share. Mark didn't even give me an email address that I could use to thank him, so I am doing so here via the blog.

Wonderful! You made my day Mark.
